“So later, Awishe Savage called me and advised me to resign.”

“My mother also called me and reminded me that I am her only child, and she is aged. She asked me to resign,” Bucknor told Alaroye in a recent interview in Yoruba.

This newspaper recalls that Bucknor-Akerele and Tinubu were both NADECO members.

NADECO was a pro-democracy organization whose members protested against the military government of General Sani Abacha over the annulment of the June 12, 1993 election which Moshood Kashimawo Olawale (MKO) Abiola won.

When Nigeria returned to Democracy in 1999, Afenifere leaders convinced Bucknor-Akerele to become Tinubu’s deputy.

However, things fell apart when Bucknor-Akerele accused Tinubu of attempting to take over the Alliance for Democracy (AD) “and I feel that I could not follow him in that scheme,” she said.

Speaking on her relationship with Tinubu, the 83-years old said: “I don’t have any relationship with him whatsoever. If we meet in a gathering and he greets me I will greet him.”

Buknor, also in the past has spoken of Tinubu achievement in South West politics, as most people believe Tinubu is the best that has ever happened to the SouthWest as a politician. “I don’t know what he’s done for the SouthWest because I don’t see any improvement in the southwest and I don’t think he’s the one who has been running the SouthWest. Let us look at the SouthWest region. What has he done (Tinubu) to enhance the lives of the people in the SouthWest? I think his party, APC has impoverished the people in the SouthWest. The main thing was, when I refused to join him, he eventually managed to split the AD, which is the party, the platform on which we came into office. He managed to split the party and of course, in protest most of us moved out of that party and he then formed the AC, then the ACN and now the APC,” she said.
