President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday held a meeting with Bola Tinubu, national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) at the presidential villa in Abuja.

The president welcomed Tinubu after hosting some top members of the ruling party.

They include John Oyegun, national chairman of the APC; Senate President Bukola Saraki; Yakubu Dogara, speaker of the house of representatives and some governors.

Addressing state house correspondents after the meeting, Tinubu denied the report that his relationship with the president is no longer cordial.

He said the meeting with the president was fruitful and also expressed confidence in the APC.

“I just met with the president. Our discussion was fruitful, productive and it was about the country and leadership as a whole. And that got him excited and happy,” he said.

“I have confidence in this president, there is no doubt about that. We worked hard to bring about the government, there are certain things that are unpredictable and those are things that can lean itself to gossips, insinuations and all of that.

“You know me. I’m not known to shy away from talking my mind and rebelling if it is necessary and taking charge of things that I believe are necessary.”
