President Muhammadu Buhari, on Wednesday, met with Bola
Tinubu, standard bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The meeting is said to have held at the villa before the
weekly federal executive council (FEC) meeting.
Details of the meeting are not yet known.
The meeting is coming amid the controversial naira swap
policy.
In January, the APC candidate said the petrol scarcity and
the naira redesign policy would not affect his chances of securing victory.
“Hide the petrol, hide the naira, we will still vote; we
will win!” Tinubu had said.
“Even if you change the ink on naira notes, what you want
will not happen. We will win. That umbrella party will lose. We will take this
government from them — saboteurs that are dragging power with us.”
His comments elicited debate as many persons believed he was
criticising the president.
The ruling party’s presidential campaign council later
clarified Tinubu’s position, saying he was only warning the president of
saboteurs in his administration.
“No political blackmail and an attempt to create a conflict
between Tinubu and his long-term ally, President Muhammadu Buhari can succeed,”
Bayo Onanuga, the council’s director of media, said in a statement.
The president has been attending some campaign rallies of
his party’s standard bearer.
Meanwhile, the supreme court has temporarily restrained the
federal government from restricting the use of the old naira notes pending the
determination of a suit filed by several state governments.
