Sunday Dare, the Special Adviser to the President on Public Communications and Orientation has revealed that President Bola Tinubu was instrumental in Muhammadu Buhari emerging President in 2015.
Speaking as a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Dare said Buhari wouldn’t have won the election without Tinubu’s support.
“If you look at the role Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu played in the emergence of Muhammadu Buhari and I can say clearly that without Tinubu’s role in forming the party, making the platform to be there, President Buhari would not have emerged,” he said
When asked if he sold the idea of fielding Buhari as the then-APC presidential candidate, the former minister replied in the affirmative.
“It couldn’t have been only me, it was a team. The electoral victories we won in 2015 and the one in 2019 had the writing of President Tinubu. We are a party and beyond me, several other people were also invited,” he stated.
