Sorry I kept you waiting, it’s time for revenge, Tinubu tells Buhari
The presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress Bola Tinubu has said he kept President Muhammadu Buhari waiting before his acceptance speech because he had suffered similar delays from the Nigerian leader.
“Mr President, sorry to keep you waiting for long, but it’s time to take a revenge; you too take too long sometimes, ” Mr Tinubu said.
Mr Tinubu said it was First Lady Aisha Buhari who usually came to him to pacify him whenever he was being kept waiting by the president.
Mr Tinubu, 70, bagged the APC ticket on Wednesday, scoring 1, 271 votes to defeat Rotimi Amaechi and Yemi Osinbajo, who bagged 316 and 235 votes, respectively.
Senate President Ahmad Lawan came fourth with 152 votes at the convention that concluded on June 8 in Abuja.
