A former Director of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, Naja’atu Mohammed, has said that the ruling party begged to appoint her as a director in the Asiwaju Bola Tinubu campaign team.
Naja’atu, who stated this during an interview on Arise TV Morning Show on Monday morning, added that Tinubu in particular kept calling her.
She said, “If they (the APC) knew I was incompetent, why were they begging me? Folake cannot lie and say he did not beg me to take that appointment. Asiwaju called me. I still have the text. He called me severally. I didn’t even know his number, I refused to pick.”
WITHIN NIGERIA had earlier reported that the spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo, had claimed that Naja’atu chased Tinubu to London for an appointment in the PCC.
Keyamo, who doubles as the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, during an interview with PUNCH, said, “What she (Mohammed) went to London to do was to grovel and lobby. We don’t see people who are worth their salt pursuing Asiwaju all over the globe. Why did she not meet him in Nigeria? Why chase him to London?.”
