Ojudu Claims Tinubu Outwitted Buhari to Win the APC Presidential Ticket
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.
Spiritual leader Primate Elijah Ayodele warns the APC against being too confident ahead of the 2027 election.
He shared “Overconfidence will kill APC; they will be too overconfident, and that will be the party’s weakness in the election. They will turn Tinubu to a demi-god, but it will make them lose the election. They believe money can do everything, but it will fail in the 2027 election,” Ayodele said.
Ayodele has repeatedly warned the APC not to assume that its current political strength will automatically translate into victory in 2027.
Politician Atiku Abubakar claims that President Bola Tinubu is 90 and says he can prove it.
He shared in a recent interview that he has evidence and can prove it, while also stating that he can serve Nigeria better and sharing how he has the qualities to be Nigeria’s leader.
“You have a President who is 90 years old now and sick and I am healthy and strong. So why won’t I make myself available to serve my country?”
“You went and voted for someone who is 80, I mean 90 years old. How old is President Bola, 90?”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose speaks on the upcoming election and shares that it has basically started now with who the people support.
While backing Peter Obi, he shared “2027 election campaign has officially kicked off. I’m happy because it’s time to take our country back. Recall that President Tinubu once told us that if he doesn’t provide electricity, we should not vote for him. APC is a failed government. Let’s start a door-to-door campaign for Mr Peter Obi. The (OK) ticket is all we want.”
He urged Nigerians to start showing their support and vote.
