The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has warned against any plot to destroy the party ahead of the 2019 general elections following the emergence of Sanwo-Olu as APC Governorship candidate in Lagos.
Recall that Governor Ambode had over the weekend attacked Sanwo-Olu accusing him of not being qualified to run for Governor of the state.
According to DailyPost, Tinubu Spoke on Tuesday, as his ‘anointed’ candidate, Babajide Sanwo-Olu was announced winner of the Lagos governorship primaries, against the wishes of the National Working Committee (NWC).
He said: “You don’t bring the roof down. You don’t bring the house down. Safeguard the foundation. The exercise you have witnessed today is a prelude; it is good for the general election of the party.
“It is good for Buhari’s endorsement to continue. 1.9 million votes. You don’t see this type of crowd. If the summation today is less than that, there will be disappointment.
“Look at that in the larger picture. If this house that accommodates all of us; we are facing one way. We are supporting the president. If they are changing, I have to abide by that. I have no choice.”
