While stating that the outburst was regrettable, the APC stated that Tinubu’s subsequent apologies were not enough.

The party has vowed to discipline the presidential aspirant for his outburst.

Speaking to journalists at the party’s national secretariat on Saturday, APC national chairman Abdullahi Adamu claimed the former Lagos State Governor disrespected President Muhammadu Buhari, calling his actions “unbecoming and insulting.”

He did not, however, elaborate on the nature of the sanctions that Tinubu will be facing.

Recall that Tinubu had boasted, while speaking to APC delegates in Ogun, that Buhari wouldn’t have been president without his help.

He said: “If not me that led the war front, Buhari would not have emerged. He contested first, second and third times, but lost. He even said on television that he would not contest again.

“But I went to his home in Katsina, I told him you would contest and win, but ‘you would not joke with Yoruba matters.

“Since he has emerged, I have not been appointed minister. I didn’t get a contract.

“This time, it’s the Yoruba’s turn and in Yorubaland, it’s my tenure.”

He also claimed to be behind the emergence of Yemi Osinbajo as vice president and Dapo Abiodun as governor of Ogun State.
