The camp of ex-Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has described Chief Bisi Akande, the pioneer National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress as “a lapdog” of Bola Tinubu, the APC National Leader.
Akande and Tinubu were elected governors on the platform of the Alliance for Democracy in 1999 but while Akande and other AD governors lost reelection in 2003, Tinubu survived the anti-AD campaign believed to have been spearheaded by ex-President, Olusegun Obasanjo. In his autobiography, ‘My Participations’, Akande, who was the National Chairman of the Action Congress at the time Atiku contested the Presidential poll on the platform of the party in 2007, said Tinubu funded the party.
“Anytime we said we needed money, Atiku would say ‘Bola, please help us’. Bola was the only one spending the money among us. The rest of us were poor. Tinubu also put all his energy and resources into the formation of the AC,” Akande wrote. But responding, Paul Ibe, spokesman for Atiku, said such was not a big deal because, at the time, Atiku and Tinubu belonged to the same camp.
