Former Buhari’s Aide Reveals The Offer Tinubu Rejected From Yar’Adua

Babafemi Ojudu, former Special Adviser on Political Matters to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, has shared how he and other close allies convinced President Bola Tinubu to turn down an offer to become Minister of Finance under the late President Umaru Yar’Adua.

“You are in Action Congress. Are you not a student of history? Do you not see what happened to Bola Ige? You are digging your political grave if you accept that type of job,” Ojudu quoted himself as saying to Tinubu.

Rauf Aregbesola, a staunch ally of Tinubu and former Governor of Osun State, backed Ojudu’s position, emphasizing that accepting the ministerial appointment would jeopardize Tinubu’s political future.

A businessman also offered his perspective, proposing that the offer could be advantageous for all parties involved. However, Ojudu stood his ground.

He cautioned that accepting the position could result in Tinubu facing arrest, trial, and potentially even death, drawing a parallel to the fate of Bola Ige.

He said, “He is our leader. Our dream for him is bigger than him becoming a minister in Yar’Adua’s government. Nine months down the line, they would arrest him, try him, and finish him off — the way they did to Bola Ige.”
