Tinubu’s Life In Danger -Junaid Mohammed

Second republic lawmaker Junaid Mohammed has alleged that there may be attempts on the life of the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu.


The prominent northern politician, who described Tinubu as the most aggrieved member of the APC, said the elder statesman is in a difficult situation.

Speaking to ThisDay, Mohammed said Tinubu was unhappy with the tenure elongation of John Oyegun, national chairman of the APC.

He said: “I can assure you that Tinubu is in a very difficult situation – in what can be described as a ‘double bind’.

“I also know that he’s not happy with the tenure elongation of the executive of the APC. He had been confronted; he did not agree with and he did not accept the violation of the national constitution and the violation of the APC constitution.

“But I also know that Tinubu is a sitting duck; they can arrest him or attempt to take his life. He has to be very careful because nobody will like to suffer death in the course of doing the right thing.”

APC crisis
Muhammmed said President Muhammadu Buhari was aware that he had offended Tinubu, yet gave him the job of resolving conflicts in the APC.

He asked how Buhari could “ask a man who is most aggrieved to go and reconcile people who are equally aggrieved?

“But you should also know that the most aggrieved person in the APC government today is no other than Tinubu,” he said.

“One of the biggest slaps he got was the appointment of Fashola as minister. It was Tinubu who built APC, not Buhari or Fashola.

“If Tinubu had not bent over backward to accommodate Buhari’s camp, there would have been no APC and there would have been no Buhari presidency.”
