Robert Boroffice, the Senator representing Ondo North Senatorial District, made it clear today that against the rumour circulating that APC National leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu had imposed Senator Ahmad Lawan and Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, as consensus candidates of the party for the National Assembly leadership positions before Saraki emerged winner, is nothing but a false story. Boroffice who claims to be in the know says the campaign of calumny against the National leader was a grand conspiracy to tarnish his image because some people were no longer comfortable with his growing influence and goodwill within the party. Below is what Boroffice told Journalists today in Abuja.
"Asiwaju Tinubu had already made up his mind to, in line with the normal, global parliamentary practice, support Akume and Gbajabiamila but the story changed along the line, when there were indications that the party leadership was favourably disposed to Lawan.
"Tinubu did not before then, have any close political interactions with Lawan. It was a senator, who is very close to the presidency that actually took Lawan to Asiwaju in Lagos, in company with another prominent party leader.
"Tinubu, categorically told the two gentlemen in the presence of Lawan that his choice was Akume and pledged to consult with other party leaders before he would give his final answer to their request to support Lawan.
"I was in the know of all the process that led to the emergence of Lawan and Gbajabiamila as consensus candidates. Tinubu played the role because of his loyalty to the party. I was among the four people that he sent to beg Akume, since he had already promised to support him.
"The campaign of calumny against Asiwaju was a grand conspiracy to tarnish Tinubu's image because some people were no longer comfortable with his ever growing influence and goodwill within the party, which he earned over the years as a result of his generosity and selfless service."
"It was when their wicked campaign against Lawan because of Asiwaju's support for him failed, that they connived with the Peoples Democratic Party to rebel against the party's consensus candidates of Lawan and Gbajabiamila," he said.
