“To the rumour manufacturers, I read in some papers about a disagreement between myself and the chairman and that was a very big lie.
"They didn’t know that we have come a long way. The big masquerade dance not in the cage but in the market square.
“And that is what Adamu use to be, full of wisdom, we were governors together, before God put us together on this project again. He is going to deliver as the Chairman of the party for me to become the president of Nigeria. And I am very confident of that," Tinubu said.
Why I visited APC NWC members - Tinubu
Speaking further, the former governor of Lagos state applauded the NWC members, adding that he visited them to discuss the modalities of the political campaign.
His words:
“What we came here today to do is to discuss the campaign which is few days away. When INEC will lift the ban, how do we work out the details, work together, implement all we have been saying, who are the members of the campaign council, who will not be members, and I beg you not to be angry if you are left out because we are going to give you another responsibility? Not every member here can be a member of the presidential campaign council."
