Following the accusations and counter-accusation that have been exchanged by the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and the President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, the APC has reacted to the incident, saying the party is not aware of Tinubu’s ambition.

Senate President has accused Tinubu of supporting President Muhammadu Buhari because of his 2023 presidential ambition.

The Senate president also said Tinubu told him he would support Buhari even if he was on a stretcher.

Saraki spoke in reaction to a statement on Sunday by Tinubu, alleging that the Senate president dumped the APC because of his presidential ambition and selfish quest for power.

The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Mr Yekini Nabena, in an interview with one of our correspondents, indicated that it was premature to talk about 2023 presidency, adding that Tinubu’s presidential ambition had not been communicated to the party.

When asked to comment on Saraki’s statement, Nabena said, “This (Tinubu’s ambition) has not been communicated to the party, so I cannot comment on it. Besides, why should anybody be talking about 2023 when we are in 2018? Is anybody God?”
