The former Chairman of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) Rufai Hanga, has revealed the gentlemen agreement between President Muhammadu Buhari and Bola Tinubu, the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Hanga disclosed that Buhari agreed to hand over to Tinubu in 2023.
He said Tinubu would have dumped APC after Buhari’s first tenure but opted to remain with the party due to the “implied agreement.”
“This is an open secret. There was an implied agreement. Even in law, there is an implied and expressed act. If something is expressed, there are no two ways about it.
“There was an implied agreement that he would take over. That is why he didn’t back out after the first tenure.
“If Tinubu knew that he would not benefit, he would have backed out during Buhari’s first tenure. But he knows there was an agreement.”
