The Presidency has said enemies of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration are trying to cause a crisis between the President and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, following a comment the President made in an interview on Arise TV on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buhari<\/a>, while responding to a question on zoning of political positions in the ruling party, had said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNobody is just going to sit in Lagos and tell them what to do. This is what we are arranging.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the comments, there were insinuations that Buhari was referring to Tinubu, but Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President, Garba Shehu, has described the insinuation as a malicious campaign to drive a wedge between the President and Tinubu, insisting that he was not referring to the former Lagos State governor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement on Thursday night Shehu, said it was a mischievous attempt to drag the President into controversies and urged Nigerians and especially the members of the APC not to fall for the mischief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe ruling party, the APC, unlike others before it, is a popular political party owned by its entire membership, hence Mr. President was making the point during the 45-minute interview that neither he nor anyone in the leadership could impose their wishes on the party. This is a basic consensus that binds the entire party leadership,\u201d Shehu said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continuing, he added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe party leaders remain firmly committed to the principles that succession must be through the democratic norms and processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe mention he made of Lagos was not a reference to the respected party leader, Senator Bola Tinubu, as the opposition party\u2019s predatory designs would put it in order to damage the excellent relationship between the two of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe President, the Asiwaju and the rapidly growing members of the party want a dynastic succession of elected leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe APC should not be distracted from its progress as a democratic party.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
