The Arewa Youths Consultative Forum,
AYCF, has reacted to insinuations of Bola Tinubu, a National Leader of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, and Nasir El-Rufai, Governor of Kaduna State
running for the office of the president and vice president of Nigeria in 2023.
AYCF President-General, Yerima
Shettima, said Nigerians would decide if Tinubu and El-Rufai are qualified to
run for the presidency and vice in 2023.
Speaking with Dailypost, Shettima
said Nigerians would consider their past antecedents and competence to
determine if they qualify to occupy the highest political offices in the
country.
Though both Tinubu and El-Rufai
have not declared their intention publicity, there are insinuations that the
duo are working behind the scenes in their push for the position of president
and vice, respectively.
However, Shettima said: “Who has
the right to stop Tinubu from coming out, is he not a Nigerian? However,
citizens would decide whether he is qualified or not. Nobody has any right to
stop anybody from coming out.
“Nigerian will decide if Tinubu
is qualified, is he that clean? What are his antecedents? Does he have the
capacity?
“Probably when the chips are down and the time
comes we will be able to speak either for or against but he has not even come
out to declare his intentions yet, so let him come out first we are waiting.”
On claims that El-Rufai is eyeing
the office of the vice president ahead of 2023, Shettima said: “Nigerians would
have to decide that based on his past antecedents and how competent he is.”

ReplyDeletePresently it is Fulani/Yoruba ticket. Come 2023 it should be IBO/Hausa. Enough of this marginalisation of the southeast. That is what a sane person should advocate. Period
