Tinubu who brainbox behind the formation of APC by the four defunct political parties- Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, All Nigerian People’s Party, ANPP, and a faction of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA- now known as legacy parties, apparently lost out in the power game when his candidates for the Senate Presidency and the Speakership of the House of Representatives were defeated at the National Assembly leadership election.

A party source in Abuja revealed that the position favors Tinubu even though a former Vice President, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku is said to be angling for the portfolio.

“He is not likely to contest the position with anyone else. Many people want him for the office”, the source said.
