Joe Igbokwe, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress,
APC has urged presidential aspirants raised by Bola Tinubu, National Leader of
the All Progressives Congress, APC, to step down.
Igbokwe on his Facebook page said such presidential
aspirants should step down for history and posterity’s sake.
Recall that Bola Tinubu, Dave Umahi, Rochas Okorocha, Yahaya
Bello, Rotimi Amaechi, and Vice president Yemi Osinbajo have declared their
intentions to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.
On Monday, Osinbajo joined in the race of those vying for
the exalted position in 2023
It was alleged that Tinubu had stepped down for Osinbajo to
be Buhari’s running mate because both Buhari and Tinubu are Muslims and it was
nearly impossible to sell a joint Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket in 2015.
Osinbajo had served under Tinubu as attorney-general of
Lagos State for eight years.
Reacting to Osinbajo’s declaration, Igbokwe who is the
Special Adviser on Drainage and Water Resources to Governor Babajide Sanwo- Olu
of Lagos State, on Monday said, ”Let me drop it here for history and posterity:
”If you are one of the people Asiwaju raised up and you are
eyeing the presidency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria show respect and
withdraw from the race.”
