The National Coordinator of the Adebayo-Bugaje Presidential Campaign Council for 2027 elections, Dr. Yunusa Tanko, has denied reports alleging that he insulted his former principal, Mr. Peter Obi.
This is contained in a statement signed by the Media and Communications Adviser of the campaign council, Comrade Mark Adebayo, in Abuja
Dr. Tanko said he and Mr. Obi parted ways peacefully and with mutual understanding.
The former National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, stressed that their political differences would not affect the respect and friendship they share.
The campaign coordinator also expressed gratitude to Mr. Obi for the opportunity to serve as his aide and lead the Obidient Movement Worldwide.
He said he remains proud of his contributions during his time with the former Anambra State Governor.
“I remain forever grateful to His Excellency Mr Peter Obi, for the wonderful opportunities he gave me to serve alongside him and lead the Obidient Movement worldwide. I thank him and I stand proudly by the records of my service with him,” Tanko said.
Tanko was unveiled to the SDP National Working Committee (NWC), party chieftains, stakeholders and supporters during the inauguration of the party’s Presidential Campaign Council at its national secretariat on Wednesday in Abuja.
His appointment came barely two weeks after he resigned as Obi’s Political Adviser for Northern Nigeria, a position he assumed after his removal as National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement in October.
Dr. Tanko said that he would continue to respect Mr. Obi despite their different political paths.
He urged the public and media organisations to disregard the reports and rely on verified information from the campaign council.
