Cabals in the Aso Rock working against Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress have been named.
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Awal Hassan revealed the identity of the alleged cabals during an interview with Channels Television.
Recall that the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, in an interview on Channels Television, had alleged that some elements in the Aso Villa are working against Tinubu.
The governor further stated that the elements don’t want Tinubu to win the 2023 presidential election.
Reacting to the development in an interview on Channels TV on Monday, Hassan alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari’s nephew and Personal Assistant, Sabiu Tunde Yusuf, is the one working against Tinubu’s victory.
Hassan stated that Yusuf and the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, misled President Buhari to believe that the February 10 deadline for the swapping of the old naira new notes for the newly redesigned ones should not be extended.
The APC chieftain, however, said Buhari’s nephew, Mamman Daura, was not part of the ‘cabals’ working against Tinubu and the APC.
In other news, Hajia Naja’atu Mohammed, a former Director of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, has said that the ruling party begged to appoint her as a director in the Tinubu/Shettima campaign team.
Mohammed said the presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in particular kept calling her.
“If they (the APC) knew I was incompetent, why were they begging me? Folake cannot lie and say he did not beg me to take that appointment. Asiwaju called me. I still have the text. He called me severally. I didn’t even know his number, I refused to pick,” Mohammed said on Arise TV Morning Show on Monday morning.
TORI reported that the Minister of State for Labour and Employment and spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo, had claimed that Mohammed chased Tinubu to London for an appointment in the PCC.
“What she (Mohammed) went to London to do was to grovel and lobby. We don’t see people who are worth their salt pursuing Asiwaju all over the globe. Why did she not meet him in Nigeria? Why chase him to London?”, Keyamo had said in an interview with the PUNCH.
