Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has rebuked claims that he might take up Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s job in 2019.
He has come out to warn politicians behind the news to stop distracting the leadership of the country with false reports.
Tinubu mentioned how he publicly refused the running mate ticket when offered by President Buhari and he felt it won’t be in the interest of the party,he threw his entire support behind Vice President Osinbajo.
“When at some point in the build up to the 2015 election, President Buhari offered him the Vice –Presidential ticket, Tinubu gratefully and publicly thanked the President.
“When it turned out that such an offer would not be in the interest of the party and would play into the hands of enemies of change, Asiwaju unreservedly and passionately threw his support behind Osinbajo as the best man for the job.
“Asiwaju firmly asserted in a public statement on Dec 17th 2014 endorsing Osinbajo for the position of running mate to Buhari “After all the political calculations are made and the dust of competition has settled,it must be this nation and its people who stand first & foremost,” he tweeted.
