The national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has said the alleged meeting by some leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Dubai to strategize on how to defeat President Muhammadu Buhari will fail.
The presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar, is currently in Dubai and has allegedly been holding series of meetings with high ranking members of the party to adopt best ways to unseat Mr Buhari.
Speaking Wednesday, after meeting with Mr Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Mr Tinubu said, “We don’t fear, whether it’s in the jungle, or it’s in Dubai or it’s in Abu Dhabi, people are free to meet and strategize in any way. But we are not going back to the illusion of the PDP.”
The former governor of Lagos State said he believes it is not possible for Nigerians to return the PDP to power.
The PDP governed Nigeria for 16 years from 1999 before losing the 2015 general election to the APC.
Speaking with State House correspondents, Mr Tinubu said APC’s style of governance is what is good for Nigeria.
“They say slow and steady wins the race; we inherited that from our forefathers and knowledgeable people. We can’t go back to the pit that we inherited for 16 years. They can strategize from anywhere but a leopard cannot change its skin,” he said.
Speaking on what he discussed with the president, Mr Tinubu said “the meeting is about the nation, the country, our people, peace, stability and economic progress.”
