Tinubu Angry With Buhari, Oshiomhole, Throws Away APC Flag

The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress and former
Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, was visibly angry and
threw away the APC flag.

This happened at the Ogun State presidential rally of the All
Progressives Congress on Monday.

Tinubu was seen throwing the APC flag beside him away.

He was also seen rushing to where the President sat to discuss
with him.

Tinubu was also seen leaving the stage in annoyance while the
President was delivering his very short message to the people of
the State.

It was learnt that the anger was caused by the embarrassment of
the party by Governor Ibikunle Amosun’s loyalists.

During the rally, President Muhammadu Buhari, the National
Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Mr Adams Oshiomhole, and
other APC leaders were booed and stoned.

Sources within the APC told our correspondent that Tinubu
earlier warned Oshiomhole and Buhari against a similar
occurrence.

The sources said that unlike campaigns in other states in South
West where Tinubu was involved, he was just a guest at the Ogun
rally.

Some of the sources said Tinubu was lobbied to attend the
rally.

It will be recalled that APC in the state is divided.

While the Governor Ibikunle Amosun wants Adekunle Akinlade of
the APM to succeed him, the APC is fielding Mr Dapo Abiodun.

The trouble started at the rally when the APC National Chairman
mentioned the name of the party’s governorship candidate in the
state, Mr Dapo Abiodun, while addressing the crowd.

Neither was Oshiomole able to perform the traditional handing
over of the party flag to Abiodun nor was Buhari and Vice President
Osinbajo able to give detailed speeches.
