The All Progressives Congress,
APC, National Leader, Bola Tinubu has been advised against running for the
Presidency in 2023.
Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi
State, said it’s time for Tinubu to allow the youths to emerge as president.
Bello said the former Lagos State
governor should take a back seat and allow youths he has groomed to rule
Nigeria.
He, however, noted that though
the APC National Leader has the right to contest in 2023, he should step back
and allow the youths.
Bello stressed that Nigeria is
not a Banana Republic that one or two persons can see as their personal
properties.
According to Bello: “Senator
Tinubu is one of our leaders and I respect him so much. He has played a very
significant role in Nigeria’s democracy and has built a lot of people.
“He has paid his dues, and with
all respect, as a son to him, my simple advice is that it is time for him to
allow his children to take over the mantle of leadership and do it to the glory
of God and his admiration.
“He should see that those
children he raised are now doing well. Let him see how we manage this country
in his lifetime.
“However, he has a right to run,
nobody is questioning that.”
“Let me tell you that Nigeria is
not a banana republic, which a committee of one or two persons will see as a
personal estate or property,” Bello told Daily Trust.
Amid speculations, Tinubu is yet
to declare his intentions to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari as Nigeria’s
president.
Recently his Media Aide, Tunde
Rahman, denied claims that Tinubu opened a campaign office in Abuja.
Despite his silence, Tinubu’s
campaign posters have been sighted in some states of the country.
Governor Bello, on his part, is also believed to be nursing a 2023 presidential ambition.
