Buhari wouldn’t have been president without Tinubu – Sunday Dare

Date:

Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Public Communications and Orientation, Sunday Dare, has said there would have been no President Muhammadu Buhari without Tinubu’s help in 2015.

Dare, who was Minister of Sports during Buhari’s administration, stated this in an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today on Thursday.

The former minister said his appointment by Tinubu was not a downgrade, but a call to add value to the administration.

He said, “This is a call to duty to help the administration at a time like this when we are going through reforms that are necessary. The fact that I am a former minister should not be an issue at all. When you look at the past, we had seen presidents call on Nigerians to come and play a role. And President Tinubu beyond me has also invited other people who had held higher positions in the past.

“The issue is that for the president to repose that trust is what is critical. I had been in government before. Governance is a continuum. There are issues that have to be dealt with. You inherit something and you continue to reform until you have a country that functions the way you want it to function.

“I think every Nigerian should be ready to answer that call for duty from whoever is the president of our country. And right now is President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and I am glad to take up that responsibility with the team that is already in place.”

Dare added, “If you look at the role Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu played in the emergence of Muhammadu Buhari and I can say clearly that without Tinubu’s role in forming the party, making the platform to be there, President Buhari would not have emerged.”
