Buhari Is Campaigning Against Tinubu

Professor Chidi Odinkalu, a leading advocate for human rights in Africa and a former head of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), asserted that President Buhari might be working against Bola Tinubu, the APC’s presidential candidate.

At APC rallies, President Buhari allegedly asks Nigerians to support a candidate who has qualities that don’t really reflect good on the party.

In an interview with the SUNDAY TRIBUNE, the Human Rights Lawyer maintained that “the president is campaigning with Tinubu and telling the people ‘don’t vote for a fraudulent person.’

This, according to Prof Odinkalu, the president might be campaigning for another candidate not including Tinubu.

“The question for me is: does Tinubu want to continue presenting the president for him to keep saying the kind of things he is saying at the rallies, things that cut both ways and impossibly actually don’t reflect quite well on his candidate, it seems to me.

“That is up to the candidate to decide. I also don’t see how Buhari necessarily sells Bola Tinubu as a candidate.”
