Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has insisted that President Bola Tinubu was instrumental in Muhammadu Buhari becoming president.
Omokri maintained that without Tinubu’s influence, former
President Goodluck Jonathan would have defeated Buhari in 2015.
He disclosed this on Arise Television’s Prime Time on
Thursday while dismissing claims by former Secretary to the Government of the
Federation, SGF, SGF, Boss Mustapha that Buhari never needed Tinubu to become
president.
Omokri insisted that Mustapha was only trying to cause a
friction between Buhari and Tinubu.
He said: “Boss Mustapha was just being silly and we have
people like that who are trying to cause friction between Buhari and Tinubu.
“Buhari had a captive vote of 12 and has always had that
since 2003, what did it do for him, he lost in 2003, and 2011.
“He was only able to win when something from the South was
only added to his captive 12 million votes.
“The way the Nigerian variation has been structured right
from the constituent Assembly of Obasanjo military era is such that no tribal
Lord can ever become president of Nigeria.
“This is done deliberately, so you can have all the votes in
your captive area but if you don’t get other votes from other geo-political
zones you can’t be president.
“Buhari needed Tinubu, without Tinubu Nigeria’s history
would have not been the same, Jonathan would have won that led and Buhari would
have been a tiny dot in a circle.”
