Paraphrased Content:Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, is under fire for comments suggesting that President Bola Tinubu’s contribution to Muhammadu Buhari’s 2015 presidential win was overstated. Mustapha claimed that Buhari would have still emerged victorious even without Tinubu’s support.
This remark sparked strong reactions, especially from key figures in the All Progressives Congress (APC), who insist Tinubu played a critical role in forming the APC and rallying support from the South-West to ensure Buhari’s success at the polls. Critics view Mustapha’s statement as an attempt to rewrite history and diminish the strategic alliances that shaped the 2015 election outcome.
Political analysts also weighed in, warning that such revisionist narratives could deepen existing rifts within the APC and distract from the party’s focus on national development. Many are calling for unity and acknowledgment of all major contributors to Buhari’s emergence as president.
