The national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Abdullahi Adamu, has said that he has never had any rift with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Adamu disclosed this in an interview on Arise Television on Wednesday.
He said that he supported the former Senate president Ahmad Lawan in the APC presidential primaries, but won the February 25 presidential election for Tinubu.
“At least, we led this party to success, we can’t wished that away. We as APC produced him (Tinubu) and I have had the privilege of leading that,” Adamu said.
“For your information, I’ve enjoyed a good working relationship with President Ahmed Tinubu GCFR since he was inaugurated to date.
“In fact, since his election, there’s nothing I’ve gone to him to talk about that I didn’t get his attention or didn’t share my thoughts effectively with him.
“So, these are people, who are just trading gossips and trying to create bad blood between me and my president. He is more than that.
“He is the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I am privileged to be the Chairman of the ruling party today.
“And if I don’t accept for any reason, I will not hesitate to walk up to him and say “Mr President sorry, this is my position on certain issues, if he disagrees with me and I disagree with him, we’ll find a way to resolve our differences,” he stated.
He said he currently has a good working relationship with Tinubu since his election, noting that the president has always given him his full attention each time they met.
Adamu said he would be willing to disagree with the president on any matter because there’s freedom of speech in the country, explaining that the so-called altercation with the president remains a creation of the media. (The Guardian)
