He said:
“That meeting actually happened, but it is all about goodwill and best wishes. We know that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu had been in London about the same time the president was there.
“The president still has two years less three months in his tenure of office. So, for him to start supporting somebody now will just be like jumping the gun and you know that President Buhari will never do that."haps a candidate of the party emerges. Knowing President Buhari, he will never jump the gun.”
APC and PDP are the same - Ex-President Jonathan's former aide Doyin Okupe says, gives reason
Meanwhile, Doyin Okupe, a former senior aide to ex-Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan, has said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are the same.
The Ogun state-born politician said there’s not much separating the two Nigerian political parties as up to 70 per cent of people who control power in the APC today were all members of the PDP.
Okupe stated this on Friday, August 13, when he featured on an ARISE News TV programme anchored by a frontline journalist, Reuben Abati, and others. He mentioned the present and former governors of Ogun state as members who have held sway in the PDP but now find themselves as leaders in the APC.
