Tinubu Tipped To Become APC BoT Chairman

National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has almost been sidelined by some interests in the party, but others who recognize how important the former governor of Lagos State is to the party may have decided to influence his emergence as the chairman, Board of Trustees, BoT of the party.

The party is due for the constitution of its BoT on June 20, 2015 following the rectification of the process by the party’s National Working Committee, NWC, last week.

Speaking in confidence to Saturday Vanguard in Abuja, a party source revealed that the odds favour Tinubu even though a former Vice President, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku is said to be angling for the portfolio. And Atiku has been alleged to be planning to hijack the party from Tinubu.

“He is not likely to contest the position with anyone else. Many people want him for the office,” the source said.

However, it was gathered that many people may not be comfortable with Tinubu occupying the office, as they fear that he may use the office to attack most members of the NWC among whom are the National Chairman of the party, Chief John Oyegun, the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki and Speaker, House of Representatives, Barrister Yakubu Dogara whose relationship with him has gone sour following the National Assembly leadership election.
