Tinubu Didn’t Make Buhari President in 2015, Says Ex-SGF Mustapha

The immediate past Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, has dismissed the claims by President Bola Tinubu that he made former President Muhammad Buhari president in 2015.

He maintained that the merger only produced three million votes in addition to Buhari’s existing 12 million votes in the North.

Recall that in 2022 when the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) was preparing for its presidential primary, Tinubu in Abeokuta declared unequivocally that he made Buhari the President of Nigeria and nominated Professor Yemi Osinbajo as his running mate, and got Mr. Dapo Abiodun elected as governor of Ogun State.
