He commented on Thursday while addressing party delegates ahead of the primaries at the Presidential Lodge in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The national leader was accompanied to Ogun by the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, his Kano State counterpart, Umar Ganduje, and former Borno State governor, Kasim Shettima.
“You have not heard this from me before. This is the first place I am saying this,” Tinubu who addressed the delegates in Yoruba said.
Speaking on Buhari’s emergence, he said;
“If not for me that led the war front, Buhari won’t have emerged. He contested first, second and third times, but lost. He even said on television that he won’t contest again.”
“But I went to his home in Katsina, I told him you would contest and win, but you won’t joke with the matters of the Yoruba.”
“Since he has emerged I have not been appointed minister. I didn’t get nor request a contract. This time, it’s Yoruba's turn and in Yorubaland, it’s my turn.”
