Northern Group Warns Against Plot To Undermine Bola Tinubu

A group under the aegis of the Patriotic Northern Coalition for Justice, Peace and Equity has called on the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to beware of politicians and elements within the party plotting to undermine the party’s chieftain and national leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.


The national coordinator of the coalition, Alhaji Babangida Sule Jnr, told newsmen in Kaduna that Tinubu is the bedrock of APC and still commands great respect in his region and in the party, adding that any plot against his interest will be very counter-productive.

“Politicians are already strategising for 2019 and they will stop at nothing to achieve their aim. Some of them are in APC and we have uncovered that part of their aims is to undermine the party’s chieftain, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, because they see him as a stumbling block.

“But we the Patriotic Northern Coalition won’t allow them because we are still grateful to Tinubu for what he has done for the North in the 2015 general elections, particularly his efforts in the emergence of President Muhammadu Buhari. We know that many people played crucial roles in the emergence of Buhari, but Tinubu tops them all.

“Personally, I know of the many times he came to Kaduna to meet with Buhari and assure him that he would do all he could to support him and ensure his victory.
