Ministerial Appointments: Buhari Shuts Out Oshiomhole/Tinubu

Published on 8th May 2019

“I belong to everyone and I belong to no one” were the words of President Muhammadu Buhari during his inaugural address following his victory against the then President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.

As the Presidential elections of 2019 appear done with, it appears the President may have recoiled to his 2015 quote.

This is according to information available to 247ureports which reveals that President Buhari has virtually shut out the National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Adamu Aliyu Oshiomole and chieftains of the APC.

Both Tinubu and Oshiomole left London for Nigeria a day before President Buhari, devastated.

The rebuff of Bola Tinubu and Adamu Oshiomole marks a significant milestone in the further widening of the divide and/or crack in the national APC between the Tinubu led group and the El Rufai led the group.

It is clear the El Rufai led group anticipate to play the major role in formulating the next face of the APC against 2023 presidential elections.

El Rufai is expected to contest for president. This is while the Tinubu led group had already begun auguring for the same position.

The divide, in turn, is expected to have an impact in the make-up of the new Buhari cabinet.

Our source indicates that the El Rufai led group have virtually cornered the President and have successfully blocked out the Tinubu group.

The sudden silence from the Oshiomole camp is attributed to the cold shoulder received from the President.
