“I respect Buhari and I’m loyal to him” – Tinubu

National leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu says he understands President Muhammadu Buhari and the feeling is mutual.

Tinubu would also speak of his respect and loyalty to the cause of Buhari, stating that he has never made any demand of him since he became President.

The former Lagos governor said this while speaking with State House Correspondents shortly after breaking Ramadan fast with President Buhari at new Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa.

“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.”

Tinubu also delved into the crisis rocking the National Assembly, adding that although it is a very sensitive issue, he would however, support the stance of the President in the matter.

“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.”
