All Progressives Congress, APC, Osun State chapter, yesterday dismissed insinuations of bickering between Governor Rauf Aregbesola and the party’s National Leader, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, over who to be nominated into President Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet.
It also rejected the claim that Tinubu was under security watch.
In a statement issued in Osogbo by Kunle Oyatomi, its director of publicity, research and strategy, APC said there was never a time Aregbesola and Tinubu disagreed over ministerial nominations.
According to the party, at no time did any APC governor in the South West unilaterally submitted names of ministerial nominees.
“To have therefore, suggested that there was a disagreement between Ogbeni Aregbesola and Tinubu on this issue is false and grossly mischievous,” the party said.
It also decried what it called “extreme desperation” to create bad blood within APC by the media, insisting that Tinubu is not, and has never been under security watch.
The statement reads: “There is practically no basis for such an action because the relationship between the national leader and the president and other senior members of the party remains excellent.
“It is laughable and worrisome the extreme desperation by some media houses in the country to create bad blood within the APC leadership in order to discredit the party.
“The moment in which the country is, calls for patriotism on all sides of our national engagement in other to keep jackboot dictatorship out of the polity permanently.
“Our collective struggle should be to grow democracy, promote freedom and enshrine peace and progress in Nigeria.”
