Does Tinubu still want Buhari in his campaign train? - Odinkalu
He stated that this statement might indirectly mean that the President is campaigning for another candidate and not his fellow party member.
Prof Odinkalu said:
“The question for me is: does Tinubu want to continue presenting the president for him to keep saying the kind of things he is saying at the rallies, things that cut both ways and impossibly actually don’t reflect quite well on his candidate, it seems to me.
“That is up to the candidate to decide. I also don’t see how Buhari necessarily sells Bola Tinubu as a candidate.”
