Emerging report indicates that the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, is “working on an alternative party” to run for the 2023 Presidency, as new revelation showed that President Muhammadu Buhari has secretly endorsed a younger Candidate and member of the ruling party to succeed him, come 2023 general elections, other than Tinubu.
Recall, that in January 2022, President Buhari refused to name his preferred successor, saying that the person may be killed, obviously not referring to Bola Tinubu, who has a lot of thugs around him, and cannot easily be killed by his political enemies.
Speaking, an insider in Ekiti State said: “The President wants a younger person, and that is not Tinubu. Fayemi wants to be President, if the Office is zoned to the South.
“If he fails, he may get the SGF (Secretary to the Government of the Federation) position, as long as the next President or Vice are not from the South-West.
“Tinubu is monitoring all that is happening, and he seems to have pitched his tent with the SDP. The truth is that Civil Servants like Oni are ready to vote for him.
“With his (Tinubu) cold war with Fayemi, and Oni’s popularity, Tinubu has developed a soft spot for the SDP. And this is not just about Ekiti election, he may contest on the platform, if APC denies him a ticket.”
