Buhari tambuwal apc govs move quell tinubu oyeguns rift
It appears you're referring to the recent rift between Bola Tinubu, a former Governor of Lagos State and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, the Governor of Ondo State, and how President Muhammadu Buhari, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, and other APC governors are trying to quell the crisis.
Here's a brief summary:
The rift between Tinubu and Akeredolu is believed to have started over the latter's decision to support the candidacy of Yimirishaidi of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Ondo State governorship election, which Tinubu's preferred candidate, Ajayi, lost. Tinubu was said to have been instrumental in Ajayi's campaign, and Akeredolu's decision to support Yimirishaidi was seen as a betrayal.
The crisis escalated when Tinubu's loyalists, including some APC governors, accused Akeredolu of being disloyal and working against the party's interests. Akeredolu, on the other hand, accused Tinubu of trying to impose his candidate on the party and undermine his authority as the Governor of Ondo State.
In an effort to quell the crisis, President Buhari, Speaker Tambuwal, and other APC governors have been trying to mediate between Tinubu and Akeredolu. They have been holding meetings and engaging in shuttle diplomacy to resolve the issue and prevent further damage to the party.
The APC governors, including those from the South-West, have been trying to persuade Tinubu to forgive Akeredolu and work together to strengthen the party. They have also been urging Akeredolu to apologize for his actions and work towards healing the rift.
However, the situation remains tense, and it's unclear whether the efforts to quell the crisis will be successful. The rift has also raised concerns about the party's ability to present a united front ahead of the 2023 general elections.
