Presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, Ahmed Bola Tinubu has said that he has nothing against the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and that he has forgiven him.

Tinubu made this known during his visit to Kano, while addressing some political support groups loyal to Osinbajo.

According to the former Governor of Lagos state, a man who asks forgiveness from God, he must be willing to forgive others.

He noted that he is willing to work with everybody for the greater good.

“I have nothing against him. I have been to his House after the primaries. I have seen him on the day of the goodwill message to the retreat organised by the president.

“And a man who forgives—a man who asks for forgiveness from Allah fully deserves forgiveness. If you cannot give forgiveness, how are you asking from Allah? To me, it is over,” he said.

Recall that Yemi Osinbajo was one of the presidential aspirants who ran against Bola Tinubu in the APC presidential primaries in June.

Aside from Osinbajo, other 13 presidential aspirants included the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State and his Kogi State counterpart, Yahaya Bello.

Coordinator of the Drone Marshall Support Group, Alwan Hassan during a meeting, called on Tinubu to work with Osinbajo and other presidential aspirants who ran against him at the primary election on June 8.

He said, “We made consultations with your friends and even your enemies.

“Sometimes, all of them speak of one good quality about you. Most of them have agreed that you stood out as being patient and forgiving whosoever offends you in politics.

“We want to see more of public participation between you and the vice president, Professor Yemi Osinbajo and all other aspirants that contested against you. You are the candidate, you have won,” he said.
