Not many Nigerians initially paid attention to the remarks by the incumbent Minister of Transportation, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, who had on August 29 said he was not aware of any pact between President Muhammadu Buhari and the National Leader of All Progressives Congress , Bola Ahmed Tinubu that Mr. President promised he would handover power to the former governor of Lagos State, after concluding his term in office in 2023.

The nPDP was the faction that left the mainstream PDP under the administration of erstwhile President Gooduck Jonathan, on grounds that the former president failed to honour the 2011 agreement to run for a term and return power to the north and that Jonathan, as at then, was no longer capable of managing the affairs of the country.

The factionalised members of the then ruling PDP, led by Baraje Kawu, with the likes of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Senate President Bukola Saraki, Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal and others, who have since returned to their PDP base, joined to strengthen the APC in wrestling power from Jonathan in the 2015 elections.

“But if there was a private meeting between President Buhari and our leader, Tinubu, I wouldn’t know. If it was a public APC meeting and I was not there, then something must be wrong. I was not told that there was an agreement that power should be handed over to Tinubu,” Amaechi added. He said Tinubu, who is also a Muslim like Buhari, could have been the vice president but the leadership of the party was against presenting two Muslim candidates in the 2015 presidential election.

In similar vein, another Tinubu protégé and Caretaker Chairman of Lagos APC, Mr. Tunde Balogun also said that the founding fathers of the party had an agreement in 2014 that the Southwest geopolitical zone will produce the party’s presidential candidate for the 2023 election and not necessarily a pact between Buhari and Tinubu.
