Senator Shehu Sani, who represented Kaduna Central in the eighth Assembly has reacted to claims made by former Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu that President Muhammadu Buhari would not have emerged as president in 2015 without his support.

Sani said the presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Tinubu, played a leading role in the emergence of Buhari as president in 2015 but politics doesn’t always respect history.

KEMI FILANI NEWS had reported that Tinubu while addressing Ogun APC delegates yesterday claimed that without his support, Buhari would not have been President in 2015.

Tinubu said, “If not for me that led the war from the front, Buhari would not have emerged as the president. He contested first, second and third times, but lost. He even said on television that he won’t contest again.

“But I went to his home in Katsina, I told him you would contest and win, but you won’t joke with the matters of the Yorubas.

“Since he has emerged, I have not been appointed Minister. I didn’t get a contract.

“This time, it’s Yoruba’s turn and in Yoruba land, it’s my tenure.”

Reacting, Sani wrote on Twitter: “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.”
