A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Alwan Hassan, has opened an old wound in the party, saying former President Muhammadu Buhari left President Bola Tinubu to fight the 2023 election alone.
Hassan, a spokesperson for the APC Presidential Campaign
Council, PCC, said Tinubu did not enjoy Buhari's full support, yet he still won
the election.
He made this claim during an interview on Channels
Television's Politics Today, where he was asked about Tinubu's chances of
winning re-election in 2027.
When asked if Tinubu would inherit Buhari's political
structure and grassroots supporters ahead of the next election, Hassan said,
"Did he enjoy that in 2023? Did we enjoy Buhari's support in 2023? Let the
truth be told, we did not. Buhari didn't fully come out to support
Tinubu."
He accused the former President of failing to stand up for
his party's candidate during the campaign.
"Buhari didn’t do well in 2023. He didn’t actually come
out to stand for us and stand for Asiwaju in 2023. Asiwaju won that election
against all odds,” Hassan said.
According to him, despite all that, Tinubu still defeated
Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and Peter Obi of the
Labour Party.
