Former Minister of Information and close ally of the president, Prince Tony Momoh, has said that President Muhammad Buhari is in firm control of the APC-led government.

He also dismissed the alleged frosty relationship between national leader of the party, Senator Bola Tinubu and the president, saying “I know Tinubu is a key player at top caucuses of the APC. He himself will never say he is sidelined,” reported by Sunday Sun.

When asked his thought on the possibility of Asiwaju Tinubu leaving APC, he said, “you think Tinubu will abandon what he has built to go back to a regional club?”

“What do you take Tinubu for? There is no way Tinubu will leave APC that he helped to build or let me even say that he built. Tinubu is very digital; he is a futuristic man. He looks into the future.”

“I, Tony Momoh, said he will never leave APC. What would he have eaten that will influence him to destroy the national edifice that he helped to build? Then, we should examine his head. He will never do so,” he said.

He continued, “a lot of people who are saying so are just speculating. There is no problem in APC today that cannot be resolved.”
