National leader of APC, Bola Tinubu says contrary to popular opinion, he
has not placed any demand on President Buhari since he assumed office.
Tinubu said this while speaking to state house correspondents after
breaking the Ramadan fast with President Buhari at the state house this
evening
"I have no demands. If you understand what party politics and leadership
is all about, it is about loyalty and commitment to the values which
the leadership believes in. I believe in what the president believes in,
I respect him and I stand firmly loyal to his cause. So you can go to
any length of speculation that you might want, I have not responded to
all of that because I understand the president and the president
understands me clearly.” he said
"That is an area where I am very cautious of my position and my
utterances. I still want to keep my side of the interpretation or
analysis to be able to achieve a resolution of the matter as quickly as
possible. I am backing what the president has carefully enumerated and
articulated to the party. The party is supreme. The party must have
disciplined leadership and followers. The party’s process must be
respected because that is the confidence and the trust of the people.
However in every environment, we should have conflict, that is politics
and conflict resolution mechanism would be applied to resolve all the
problems so we are there. There is honour in every struggle and every
competition, there must be honour in victory too.”he said
