Tinubu holds 2nd meeting with President Buhari in 48 hours at Aso Rock Villa
Barely 48 hours after his first significant meeting inside the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja, National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has again visited the Nigeria’s seat of powers where, again, he met behind closed door with President Muhammadu Buhari.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports Tinubu had on October 31, 2018 paid similar visit to the State House and held a closed door meeting with the President, which he later described as meeting on matters of Nigeria.
Emerging from the hitherto meeting, Tinubu, fielding question from journalists on his take on meeting Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and other top members of the opposition were holding in Dubai, had said that leaders of the APC cared less about any such meeting, adding that the ruling is not jittery at all over it.
During the interview, he dismissed the call for the resignation of the National Chairman of the party, Comrade Adams Oshiohmole, saying party supremacy must be respected.
According to the APC national leader, Oshiohmole has so far not violated APC constitution or engaged in any anti-party activity that will warrant his resignation or removal from office.
Tinubu’s comments on Oshiohmole have continued to attract comments from some aggrieved members of the APC including Governor Rochas Okorocha, who spoke to State House correspondents on Thursday after he met with President Buhari at the State House.
Okorocha, who reacted to Tinubu’s approval of Oshiomhole’s leadership style, urged that the national chairman be called to order to respect the rule of law, do the right thing and respect court orders.
Tinubu, however, declined to comment on the matter after his meeting on Friday with the president.
