Former Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, has said former President Muhammadu Buhari never wanted President Bola Tinubu to succeed him. Lamido also said Buhari never trusted his former Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo to succeed him, adding that the former President wanted ex-Senate President Ahmed Lawan.
Lamido further noted that Tinubu owed his emergence as President to nobody because he was a very daring and self-made man. Speaking with Tribune, Lamido said: 'Prior to the convention, he was in Abeokuta, Ogun State, where he boasted that it was his turn to rule Nigeria. And Buhari , very naive, was watching. He never liked Tinubu . There was somebody he wanted. “He didn’t even trust his own vice president, Professor Osinbajo ; he wanted Ahmed Lawan, but his calculation was absurd.
“The president of Nigeria, after being in office for eight years, lacked the courage to push through his anointed choice. He was there at the convention and Tinubu that he never liked, he never believed in emerged. Tinubu knows that his victory wasn’t from Buhari, therefore, he owes him nothing.' Prior to the 2015 presidential election, there were insinuations that Buhari was against Tinubu's emergence as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
