‘If not for me that stood behind Buhari, he wouldn’t have become the president. He tried the first time, he failed, the second time, he failed, the third the, he failed, he even wept on national television and vowed never to contest again.
‘But, I went to meet him in Kaduna and told him he will run again, I will stand by you and you will win, but you must not joke with Yorubas and he agreed.
‘Since he became the president, I have never got ministerial slots, I didn’t collect any contract, I have never begged for anything from him, it is the turn of Yoruba, it is my turn,’ Tinubu had said.
Reacting, Adamu said Tinubu’s outburst was uncalled for and he must pay for it.
Africa Daily News, New York reports that it is still unclear what the punishment would be for the leader of the party but sources have already confirmed that his chances of picking up the Presidential ticket of the party may have been diminished.
The ruling party is expected to commence their Primaries on Tuesday morning at Eagles Square in Abuja.
