President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has revealed that he and the late former President Muhammadu Buhari had disagreements during the formative years of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Describing Buhari as a stubborn man, Tinubu recalled that they once clashed over the choice of a party symbol.
The president made this disclosure while receiving members of The Buhari Organisation, TBO, led by former Nasarawa State governor, Senator Tanko Al-Makura, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Tuesday.
“We disagreed to agree. We even argued about a symbol. He (Buhari) insisted on parliament, and I insisted on broom. He’s so stubborn,” Tinubu said.
He added that despite the disputes, compromises were reached to finalise the merger of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, the All Nigeria Peoples Party, ANPP, and a faction of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, culminating in the registration of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in 2013.
