It has been reported that in some quarters that President Muhammadu Buhari invited the leader of APC, Bola Tinubu, to Abuja over the his alleged rift with current Lagos state governor, Ambode.
The APC Governors’ Forum is reported to have urged Buhari to appeal to Tinubu not to disgrace one of their own.
The Guardian said the closed-door meeting between both men; the Oba of Lagos, Rilwanu Akiolu; national vice chairman of APC, South West, Chief Pius Akinyelure; and others were said to have expressed concern over the conflict and the effects the quarrel would have on the party’s chances of winning the forthcoming governorship election.
The media aide to the national leader, Mr. Tunde Rahman, said he was not aware his principal was summoned to Abuja on the matter.
“Honestly, I am not aware,” he affirmed. If the governor said there was no rift, it means there is none.”
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is also making frantic efforts to intervene and had travelled to Lagos to meet the governor and Tinubu.
