The APC chieftain a statement made available to newsmen said: “It was very sad that we lost Osun State to the PDP. Though we gave a good fight, I believe important lessons have been learnt going forward.
“However, it is very narrow-minded for people to think that the Osun election will affect the chances of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in his presidential bid. I have read such commentaries; I find them laughable and uninformed.
“The presidential election is a different ball game. It is about different personalities. The dynamics will also be different.

“The PDP should not have the illusion that the Osun scenario automatically means a win for them in the forthcoming presidential election. Asiwaju Tinubu is a factor across the country, and he garners votes from across the party, religious lines.”
