Olusegun Bamgbose, Esq., National
Coordinator, Concerned Advocates for Good Governance, CAGG, has told a former
Vice President and business mogul, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to shelve any ambition
he might be nursing for the presidency in 2023.
He pointed out that Northern
politicians such as Tanko Yakassai, Paul Nnongo, Balarabe Musa, Governor Nasir
El-Rufai, Senate President Ahmed Lawal and others have spoken the minds of the
people in the region which Atiku should respect.
Recall that Tanko Yakassai had
declared that Tinubu would make a better President than Muhammadu Buhari. Some
prominent Northern politicians had also in recent weeks declared support for
Southern Presidency come 2023.
“Tanko Yakassai, Paul Nnongo,
Balarabe Musa, Governor El-Rufai, Ahmed Lawal and others will forever be
respected and reckoned with, in the scheme of things,” Bamgbose said in chat
with Dailypost on Sunday.
“They are the new faces of great
Nigerians. They deserve to be commended for standing for what is just and
equitable.
“They have actually spoken the
mind of the North. It’s on this basis, I’ll humbly urge Atiku Abubakar, to
shelve his presidential ambition come 2023 Presidential elections.
“He should respect the views of
these noble, patriotic and detribilised Northerners. In 2007, I kicked against
the third term of Olusegun Obasanjo, this is well known to Atiku.
“In 2005, Atiku graciously
granted me a private audience. I told him clearly that third term agenda will
fail and to God be the glory, it failed.
“The success of third term
agenda, would have eternally dented the political image of the Yorubas. I put
my life on line to kick against it.
“In 2015, I supported Buhari
because I believe it’ll be unjust for a Southerner to hold on to power.
“This is what is being replicated
by these noble Nigerians. One will therefore strongly advise Atiku to jettison
his presidential ambition.
“The best bet for him is to
support a Southerner to emerge as the next President of Nigeria, come 2023. His
name will be written in gold, if he will summon the courage to do this.
“When it comes to holding this
nation together, the North should be respected. As President, the North will
never for one day regret they supported a Southerner, to emerge as President.”
