“Buhari the candidate to beat in 2019 elections” – Senator Remi Tinubu

Senator representing Lagos central, Oluremi Tinubu has lamented how the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration sidelined her husband, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, after the 2015 general elections.

Oluremi revealed that she was hurt by the treatment meted to her husband despite helping the ruling party win the presidency.

The senator, who disclosed how she was forced to discourage her husband from his continued loyalty to the Presidency and the APC, said the party leader was always harping on the development of the country.

She said, “He was campaigning, I did too. We were running three campaigns in my house. And for him to be trashed like that? But I saw somebody who has love for this country. I hate to speak because when I stand in the front of God, I don’t want, because of this man, go to hell.

“Occasionally, I would chip in and I would say, ‘You’re still helping out? Why are you helping out?’ He would say, ‘This country matters to me more.’”

Having acknowledged that the Buhari-led administration was now under massive criticisms, Oluremi maintained that the President remained “the candidate to beat” in the forthcoming poll.

“And Buhari, how many years has he been there? I am not campaigning for him. I am not; because I have looked at the dynamics; the poor still trust him. I will tell you: when it comes to integrity, Buhari has it. I don’t know about now.”
