Buhari not dictatorial: Atiku, Akande, I not in political Struggle – Tinubu

All Progressive Congress (APC) Chieftain, Bola Tinubu has debunked the claim by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that President Buhari and APC are dictatorial. Tinubu gave the dismissal on Wednesday while fielding questions from State House correspondents in Abuja after a closed-door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari.

Tinubu, however said that PDP members should rather commend the president for stimulating growth in the economy across the states.

“He was elected on a platform of democracy and he has adhered to rule of law so far. What is dictatorship about what he has done? He has helped to stimulate the economy in the various states and that is where the people are,’’ he said.

Tinubu also accused PDP members for being the cause of the nation’s corrupt state which APC has come to clean up. “If they don’t have anything to say, they rather be quiet. They created what is wrong here today and we cannot sweep that under the carpet. There must be rule of law.’’

Also, the APC chieftain dismissed the claims that some APC top-shots, including him; former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar and the former national chairman of the party, Mr. Bisi Akande were engaged in political struggle over the party’s Board of Trustees’ position.

“Don’t listen to rumours, there is no struggle. Our party is not even looking at the direction of power struggle or anything of such.
“The support structure is to encourage and support the President as you have heard from Chief Bisi Akande, to help him institutionalise his goal, principle and vision for a new Nigeria,’’ he added

Mr. Tinubu, who was accompanied by Mr. Akande, refuted the insinuation that he was at the presidential villa to discuss ministerial list to be announced by the president before the end of the month.
