APC not happy with Tinubu’s outburst in Abeokuta – Adamu

The National Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Adamu, on Saturday said the party is not happy with the outburst of one of its presidential aspirants and National Leader, Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Abeokuta.

He said Tinubu might be sanctioned by the party.

Tinubu was campaigning in Abeokuta on Thursday when the former governor of Lagos state recalled how he led the political battle in ensuring that President Buhari win the 2015 election.

Meanwhile, some personalities viewed his speech as disrespectful to the President.

However, in a statement on Friday, Tinubu maintained that he holds President Buhari in high regard.

The APC chieftain said his comments were not meant to disrespect the President and had been taken out of context.

Tinubu said reactions suggesting he had been disrespectful were sensational and incorrect.

The party chairman announced that all presidential aspirants are billed to meet with President Muhammadu Buhari tonight.

Adamu also said the party has appealed the judgment in favour of statutory delegates, meaning they will not participate in the upcoming presidential primary.

He made the comments while speaking with reporters at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja on Saturday.
