APC leaders are divided over the role of
Bola Tinubu in the last governorship elections in Ondo state, Punch reports.
Some of them believe Tinubu, together with Osun State
Governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, worked against the interest of the party in
the election, others believe the duo did no wrong.
Both men are accused of supporting the candidature of
Chief Olusola Oke of the Alliance for Democracy with funds and other logistics
for the election. Chief Oke left the APC to contest under the AD after an
alleged botched primary.
“We have told those who are against the man to remember
his contributions to the formation of the APC and the emergence of President
Muhammadu Buhari. We should not take any action that will destroy the party,” a
party chief said.
However those who think he worked against the party
called for sanctions against him, saying it would send a message to other
would-be rebels.
“We should not treat Tinubu like a god. The laws of the
party should apply to all members.”
When contacted, Tinubu’s aide Tunde Rahman, said his
principal did not engage in anti party activities.
