2023: ‘It is over’ – Tinubu speaks on soured relationship with Osinbajo

Our reporter| The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, says he does not have anything against Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.

Tinubu stated this when he addressed a group in Kano that worked for Osinbajo’s presidential bid.

Ahead of the APC presidential primary, there were controversial reactions after Osinbajo declared his bid to contest the presidency with Tinubu also in the race.

It was then rumoured that both politicians had fallen out since then.

But Tinubu said: “I have nothing against him. I’ve been to his house after the primaries.

“I saw him on the day of the goodwill message (at) the retreat organised by the president.

“And a man who forgives, a man who asks for forgiveness from Allah fully deserves forgiveness. If you cannot give forgiveness, how are you asking from Allah? To me, it is over.”

Earlier, Alwan Hassan, coordinator of the Drone Marshall support group, said his group wanted to see Tinubu publicly work with former APC presidential hopefuls.

“We made consultations with your friends and even your enemies. Sometimes, all of them speak of one good quality about you,” Hassan said.

“Most of them have agreed that you stood out as being patient and forgiving [of] whoever offends you in politics.

“We want to see more public participation between you and the vice-president, professor Yemi Osinbajo, and all other aspirants that contested against you. You are the candidate; you have won.”
