Babafemi Ojudu, former Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, has revealed that President Bola Tinubu outsmarted his predecessor, former President Muhammadu Buhari, during the 2022 All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary.

According to Ojudu, Buhari never showed support for his then Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, nor for Tinubu in the lead-up to the election.

Ojudu, speaking on Edmund Obilo’s podcast State Affairs, explained that he knew Osinbajo would not win the primary because of the political landscape they were operating in.

He stated that despite their efforts of campaigning and engaging with delegates, only 40 percent of the primary outcome depended on their actions.

The remaining 60 percent, he emphasized, was in Buhari’s hands.

Unfortunately, Buhari did not rally his team, including the governors and his aides, to support Osinbajo, which left them at a disadvantage.

Ojudu also described Buhari as a “one-man majority,” adding that the president failed to mobilize his supporters to back Osinbajo.

This, according to him, allowed Tinubu to outmaneuver Buhari and secure the APC’s presidential ticket.

Tinubu emerged victorious with 1,271 votes, while Amaechi secured 316, Osinbajo garnered 235, and Lawan trailed with just 152 votes.
