What I know About Buhari, Jonathan, Tinubu – Tunde Bakare

“When I first spoke to Tinubu about it (after Lai Mohammed had come to tell me that the ACN wanted me
to persuade Buhari to be the party’s flagbearer), he (Tinubu) said, ‘the greatest mobiliser in the South West will be his running mate….’”
Apart from describing how former President Goodluck Jonathan’s minion, Godswill Orubebe, chased him (Bakare) with a $50,000 “gift”, Bakare ascribed Jonathan’s failure to his lack of capacity. “At best, he worked with some botanical things” before his odyssey to fame and power,” said the fiery man of God.
In an interview that he would later say “drained him of virtue”, Bakare did not mince his words about the leadership tussle in the South West, the challenges before Buhari and his potential role in Buhari’s government.
