The Presidency says there is no rift between President Muhammadu Buhari and his strong ally, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
It noted that the President and Asiwaju have a very strong commitment to the All Progressives Congress, APC towards bringing CHANGE and this is a commitment they have made to the Nigerian people.
The Presidency explained that recent reports of a rift between the two leaders of the party are false adding that it is the handiwork of some media mischief makers.
A statement issued by the senior special assistant to the President on media and publicity Garba Shehu on Wednesday said It is quite unfortunate that certain sections of the media feed on birthing controversies, providing a nexus for naysayers who work behind the scenes planting such stories which are absolutely false.
The statement noted that the administration is aware of pessimists and cynics who willfully spread misinformation to create doubts in the minds of the people about the relationship between the leaders and whether the party will remain intact or not.
It added that There is no doubt that the President and the party are focused on development, peace and security, restructuring of the economy and war against corruption in the country and will not be diverted to anything else saying the desperate attempt to fool the people will not succeed.
The Presidency noted that President Buhari, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu remains one of the most respected political leaders in the country who has stuck to his principles in the face of all adversities adding that He was instrumental to the formation, growth and development of the APC into a formidable political party and the political alliance is waxing even stronger.

The statement concluded that “If the Asiwaju is not a frequent face in the Aso Rock Villa, it is on account of the fact that he is not a cabinet member of this government. The fact that he is not every day around the Villa does not make him less of a friend to the President and this administration.”
