Buhari reportedly moves to pacify Tinubu - Ex-Governor to get more Ministerial nominees

This is according to a report by Tribune. They claim that president Buhari is considering giving former Lagos State governor Bola Tinubu more ministerial slots as a way of pacifying the national leader of the APC who is said to be very angry about the goings on in the party...especially the national Assembly crisis.
"Sources close to the APC confirmed to the Nigerian Tribune that the presidency had discovered lately that Tinubu was angry and had been putting some measures in place to pacify the national leader of APC.
Tinubu’s camp was said to have been angered by Buhari’s failure to back its strategies that would have ensured the emergence of candidates of the party for the positions of Senate president and Speaker of the House of Representatives.
It was learnt that Tinubu was particularly angry that Buhari did not make good his promise to address APC legislators at the International Conference Centre on June 9, leading to the emergence of Senator Bukola Saraki as Senate president.
It was also gathered that Tinubu’s loyalists fingered Buhari’s men in the uprising that shut out the former Lagos governor from the last National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the party, held in Abuja, last week.
Though Tinubu is not a member of NEC statutorily, no one really made an issue out of that until Buhari assumed office.
Some Tinubu loyalists said they suspected the presidency might have given tactical backing to the group of former governors, who threatened to storm the meeting if Tinubu was allowed at the venue.
It was, however, gathered on Thursday in Abuja that Buhari had resolved to pacify Tinubu, so that the party would not break up under his watch.
A source said the presidency was considering giving Tinubu four ministerial slots, to compensate for the loss of speaker and Senate president.
But sources in the party said that there are some hardliners who were of the view that Buhari could continue to call Tinubu’s bluff, having assumed the position of party leader.

    That's why politics will remain dirty in this country. They want to give Tinubu 4 ministerial slots just to pacify him, imagine the rubbish. Asiwaju will look for people that are loyal to him to fill those slots, not people that are qualified for the position....smh.

      This Story is a Big lie. Are you in his mind to know what he's considering? A man who has made it clear that sitting or standing (*coughs) governors aren't going to be selecting or nominating ministers for him.

      Planting lies in the news wouldn't make wishful thinking become true especially when its basically aimed at forcing someone's hand. Besides, a minister is a lackey that can be fired any time and his/her powers can be controlled by a single memo. These guys think we are fools.

    What is the big deal, we all know that without Tinubu , Buhari won,t be president. What is it with Nigerians against Tinubu. Is it because he is a better politician that the rest.
    Look , if Buhari betray him that is to show how ungrateful he is. Ant the foolish people around Buhari now, where are they when Tinubu and the rest were forming the party and providing the platform for the rest to run.

    The mere fact that Saraki and Dogara betray their party to form an aliance with an opposing party is worst than what ever you can think of. Carrying the party food to the dogs just for you to gain is not acceptable.
    Do you want to accept such and think those who worked for the success of the party should just accept it like that.

    We over look a lot of things in this country and that is why we never progress

    General Buhari, please wake from your slumber, we love you and we still do. But please bear in mind that without the unwavering and unrelenting dogeed efforts Bola Tinubu, there won't have been APC talkless of a Buhari Presidency, all those causing crises now where they? Why didn't Saraki join Accord Party? Politics is about ideas and strategy not naked force and brute power. No matter the inadequacies of Tinubu you need now more than ever, he is a huge asset to any political camp unlike the opportunists like Atiku, even Tambuwal turned out to be a traitor at the end.

    BUhari needs to realize that without Tinubu he would not be where he is today. Tinubu made it all possible.And all those other dreamers ( Atiku & Saraki) they need to come to terms with the fact that with all their ambitions they will not be president without Tinubu. Bcos they need the SW votes. Northern votes alone will not get them to their dream land. THat was the mistake Jonathan made; he allowed SW to go to the opposition at his own peril.
