Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A former Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to ex-President Muhammadu Buhar, has revealed the position of his principal on the push to remove President Bola Tinubu in 2027.<\/p>\n

As the talk of coalition of political leaders gains attention in the country, Former Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, ex-Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, and ex-Sokoto State governor, Aminu Tambuwal had visited Buhari at his residence in Kaduna State.<\/p>\n

Speaking after the meeting, however, El-rufai told the press their visit to the former President was not politically motivated.<\/p>\n

Despite the explanation, some members of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, continue to link the visit to the 2027 presidential election.<\/p>\n

Asked whether Buhari now supports the removal of Tinubu or intends to oppose the APC in the 2027 elections, Shehu firmly dismissed the idea in an interview on Arise News.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, not at all. President Buhari\u2019s position was and still is that he\u2019s an APC person. APC did him the big favour of his life. Made him president for two terms.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is not going to betray that party. President Tinubu is a successor from the same political party.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Buhari ran for office three times and didn\u2019t win until they came together with Tinubu and all the others and they won.\u201d<\/p>\n
