Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, has said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu did not make Muhammadu Buhari president in 2015, rejecting a claim Tinubu made during his campaign in 2022.
Mustapha, who served under Buhari, said Buhari already had strong support before the APC (All Progressives Congress) was formed.
According to him, Buhari had about 12 million loyal voters, mostly from the North, and the party merger that Tinubu helped create only added about three million extra votes.
The former SGF’s comments come amid mounting political realignments and defections from the ruling APC, as several of Buhari’s former appointees have reportedly joined the newly unveiled opposition coalition, which has adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as its platform for the 2027 elections.
