Tinubu made the statement less than 24 hours after Rochas Okorocha, governor of Imo state, said 34 governors had endorsed Buhari for a second term.
Speaking in Akure, capital of Ondo state, on Wednesday, Tinubu said “governors cannot appropriate the power of endorsement to themselves”. The APC leader maintained that leadership of the APC had not endorsed Buhari as its sole candidate for 2019.
He added that the flagbearer of the ruling party in the 2019 presidential election would emerge through a democratic process.
Although Buhari has not disclosed his intention about 2019, his supporters have started rolling out the drums.

2019 is gonna be interesting.
ReplyDeleteTinubu should find something else to say cos whether he agrees or not, Buhari will get an automatic endorsement from all APC governors particularly those of them with second term aspirations or those hoping to secure some political appointments after their tenure as governors e.g Okorocha.
DeleteAnd then the APC will go ahead to rig its way back to power.
Buhari is a coward.
DeleteHe won't even win. Tinubu should rest too because I know he wants that seat badly.
DeleteIf buhari contests for the next election he will win not because he is good but because it will be rigged. Tinubu knows he made a mistake with this guy.
