STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE

ALLEGED RIFT BETWEEN PRESIDENT BUHARI AND TINUBU; HANDIWORK OF CYNICS

The Presidency wishes to make it clear that there is no rift between President Muhammadu Buhari and his strong ally, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The President and the 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.
Recent reports of a rift between the two leaders of our party are false; the handiwork of some media mischief makers.
