However, the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu Presidential Campaign Organisation said the address by Tinubu was to remind national delegates of his contributions to the formation and the emergence of the party.
A statement by the spokesperson for the campaign organisation, Bayo Onanuga, indicated that Tinubu’s references were factual and in public knowledge.
He, however, expressed concern that Tinubu’s address had been misconstrued by the opposition to denigrate the President and divide the country across ethnic lines.
Meanwhile, the former lawmaker representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Senator Shehu Sani, said Tinubu played a huge role in the APC.
He claimed that the presidential candidate helped gain victory for Buhari at the polls in 2015.
Sani, a PDP chieftain posted in a tweet on Thursday, saying, “Actually, Jagaban has played a leading role in the emergence and victory of PMB in 2015; but politics doesn’t always respect or appreciate history,” he posted on his verified handle.
