National Leader of All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari would not allow Nigeria to fall despite the raging security challenges in the country.
He said the president has taken a bold step to ameliorate the situation of the country, adding that leaders in the country must come together to save the country with Buhari.
Tinubu made the statement while speaking with the State House correspondents shortly after a closed-door meeting with the President in the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The former Lagos State Governor, who was accompanied by a former national chairman of the APC, Chief Bisi Akande, said, “The best way forward is what we are doing; coming together to reduce banditry, to move for unity and be able to bring a better Nigeria to the people. The welfare of our people is extremely important.
“Yes, every nation will go through these curves and difficult times. How we communicate it to the people; what are the areas to help make things easier for people? Those are the ideas we have to exchange with the leadership of the country.”
According to Tinubu, there was no President that would want his country to be in chaos, saying that Nigerians must show cooperation, understanding and determination to surmount the challenges.
“There is no President who will want his country in chaos. Have you seen one? Point one to me. There is no one that will want his citizens exposed to banditry and danger.
“There’s no President or leader that will want his nation fractured by tribalism, religious differences and all that. It calls for serious management and serious evaluation and dialogue once in a while”, he added.
The APC national leader also dispelled some reports on his dispute with President Buhari.
“There is nothing like an unhealthy relationship between us. Who is our doctor? Is it social media that is measuring the relationship?
“I don’t have to disturb him openly on camera; is it? No, we have so many ways to look at issues. We have nothing like that.”
While describing his relationship with the President, he said it is “very close and cordial, frank and honest”.
