Babafemi Ojudu, special adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on political matters, has revealed the deal a national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu struck with Sunday Adeyemo alias Sunday Igboho in 2009.
Sunday Igboho has been largely involved in the crisis between herdsmen and residents of Ibarapa Local Government Area of Oyo State.
Ojudu said in an article on Monday that Tinubu persuaded Igboho not to interfere with the May 2009 rerun election in Ekiti after learning the Peoples Democratic Party was planning to disrupt the polls.
An Appeal Court in Ilorin had ordered a rerun in some polling units after PDP’s candidate Segun Oni initially defeated Fayemi of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in the 2007 governorship election.
