Mallam Garba Shehu, former spokesperson to former President Muhammadu Buhari, has weighed in on rumours of alleged rift between Buhari and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Speaking during an interview session with a TV station, Garba Shehu also dismissed speculations of tension and disagreements within the All Progressives Congress (APC), explaining that the loyalty of Buhari to both the party and Tinubu’s administration remains unshakeable.

Shehu described rumours of rift as “purely speculative” and lacking any formal substance or foundation.

The erstwhile presidential aide undeined Buhari’s deep-rooted commitment to the APC, stating that the party provided him with a platform for two successful presidential terms after three prior failed attempts.

He said: “People are entitled to hold their opinion, and your interpretation of it is purely your entitlement.

“I don’t think in a formal and official sense, anybody would talk about distrust or mistrust or a façade between the Buhari administration and the Tinubu administration.

“For Muhammadu Buhari, he’s essentially an APC member.

“He does not forget the fact that he ran one, two, three times and failed to get the presidency until they cobbled together the APC.

“APC came together and gave him two terms, for which he has remained grateful, and says, and that’s what I’ve learned from him: ‘I will never be ungrateful. I will never betray the party that gave me two terms in office.’”

Responding to the reported tension within the APC, Shehu said Buhari’s camp is not disturbed by such speculation.

He said: “We see statements.

“We read them when people say these things.

“Do we get disturbed?

“I don’t think that is the word.”
