A political group, Tinubu Vanguard, on Sunday said President Muhammadu Buhari is patriotic and detribalised, just like former Lagos governor Bola Tinubu.
“We particularly appreciate Mr President for displaying exceptional care and concern for all Nigerians across ethnic, religious and political divides,’’ the Vanguard’s Director-General Johnny Benjamin said in statekent on Sunday in Abuja.
Mr Benjamin called on Nigerians to emulate the patriotic and detribalised nature of Messrs Buhari and Tinubu.
This, he said, would enhance national unity and cohesion.
“Nigerian youths should emulate the synergy and cordial relationship between Buhari and Tinubu as recipes for national unity and peaceful coexistence,’’ he said.
He said Mr Buhari should be specially commended for taking out time to check on Mr Tinubu, who was recuperating in London.
Mr Benjamin also commended Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State and other Nigerians, who had shown concern for Mr Tinubu’s wellbeing.
“We commend Mr President, the governor of Lagos State and other prominent Nigerians who took time from their tight schedules to check on the APC national Leader in London,” he added.
Mr Benjamin also condemned rumours in some sections of the media which suggested that Mr Tinubu had a surgery and died.
