Stop Using Tinubu As Your Political Tool, AGF Warns Buhari

By Ayobami Agboola, Osogbo

A socio-political  group, Asiwaju Grassroots Foundation AGF has sounded a notice of warning to President Mohammed Buhari to stop using its principal, Bola Ahmed Tinubu as his political tools to his own advantage.

AGF in a press statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Adeboye Adebayo and made available to CityMirrorNews in Osogbo on Wednesday, expressed grave concern over the President is relating with Tinubu

According to Adebayo  “Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a patriotic nationalist and party man to the core who understands perfectly what party politicking is all about and wants the very best for the country in terms of progressive governance.

Adebayo further explained that Tinubu has been exhibiting those leadership traits since he joined politics hence he should be treated in a better way especially going by his immense contributions in enthroning Buhari’s government.

Honestly we are very concerned and sincerely worried as young people and upcoming politicians about the way President Mohammodu Buhari is relating with our Principal; Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu who contributed immensely to the enthronement of this government. Some weeks back after Baba Obasanjo wrote to President Buhari asking him not contest in 2019, our Principal and Baba Akande appeared suddenly for undisclosed discussions and today Asiwaju Tinubu has just been appointed to lead a reconciliation efforts. This is a man that had been sidelined by the government he helped since 2015” Adebayo lamented.

Adebayo noted that  Tinubu is more than political tools in the hands of any President anywhere in the world as he himself is a Presidential material.

“It is very sad that after three years that the President has sidelined Tinubu and his ACN allies, after three years when Chief Oyegun has polarised the party like never before due to the actions or inactions of Mr. President, the president now deemed it fit to call him to lead the reformation and reconciliatory efforts, is that a bait or an antics to use him and dump him again for the interest of Mr. President” Adebayo queried.

Adebayo urged President Buhari to genuinely change his deceitful attitude towards Asiwaju, saying that his style is not encouraging the younger upcoming politicians at all.

If Tinubu who sacrificed a lot to put this government in place can be treated like a commoner whom you can be using and dumping as political tools like this, what hope and encouragement signals are you sending to the youths” Adebayo wondered.

Adebayo then implored all well meaning Nigerians to continue to pray for Tinubu as he is a dedicated Nigerian, an asset of unquantifiable price to this country.
