Buhari Told Me To Be His Vice But I Turned Him Down, Says Tinubu

One of the key men that played a pivotal role in the founding of the All Progress Congress, Bola Tinubu, has revealed that he turned down the opportunity to be the running mate of APC presidential candidate in the 2015 general elections, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd).

He made this shocking revelation on Wednesday in Abuja after the party announced Prof. Yemi Osinbajo as the vice presidential candidate of the party.

He said, "There came a time during the course of the events when our Presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, offered me the Vice Presidential slot.  Being a normal human being, I was deeply moved and honoured that he would consider me for the position. Being a patriot, I had to weigh my potential candidacy in all of its dimensions.

"I have concluded that the interest of the party, our campaign and that of the nation are better served if I retain my position as the National leader of the APC, allowing me to be a bridge builder across all divides.
