A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Alwan Hassan, has opened an old wound in the party, saying former President Muhammadu Buhari left President Bola Tinubu to fight the 2023 election alone.
Hassan, a spokesperson for the APC Presidential Campaign Council, PCC, said Tinubu did not enjoy Buhari’s full support, yet he still won the election.
He made this claim during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, where he was asked about Tinubu’s chances of winning re-election in 2027.
When asked if Tinubu would inherit Buhari’s political structure and grassroots supporters ahead of the next election, Hassan said, “Did he enjoy that in 2023? Did we enjoy Buhari’s support in 2023? Let the truth be told, we did not. Buhari didn’t fully come out to support Tinubu.”

“Buhari didn’t do well in 2023. He didn’t actually come out to stand for us and stand for Asiwaju in 2023. Asiwaju won that election against all odds,” Hassan said.
According to him, despite all that, Tinubu still defeated Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and Peter Obi of the Labour Party.
