Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>President Muhammadu Buhari met with the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu on Friday.<\/p>\n

Buhari met with Tinubu at his official residence at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.<\/p>\n

He disclosed this during the \u2018Meet the mentor\u2019 dinner held in his honour by the APC Progressives Sisters Network at the International Conference Centre in Abuja.<\/p>\n

Tinubu said he had an important meeting with the president at 9.45 pm.<\/p>\n

Addressing the meeting, Tinubu said: \u201cI have a superior appointment. Late yesterday, the president called that I should be at his place by 9.45 pm this evening (Friday).<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do I do? Cancel it and disobey my president? And it is a command, more or less. (He said) see me at 9.45pm.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lately, there has been speculation of a crisis between Buhari and Tinubu.<\/p>\n

This was fuelled by Tinubu\u2019s claims that some powers that be in Buhari\u2019s government are trying to sabotage his chances of winning the presidential election.<\/p>\n

Amid the claim, Buhari had declared Tinubu his presidential candidate, while urging Nigerians to vote for him.<\/p>\n

Also, Tinubu expressed optimism of winning the presidential election with Buhari\u2019s support.<\/p>\n
