2023: Why Tinubu may play own Trump card | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News

On Wednesday, I stumbled on a newspaper article written by one Mr. Emameh Gabriel where he highlighted the bottlenecks or rather, the many hurdles the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu would face should he throw his hat into the ring for the 2023 presidential race.

He did not just jump to conclusions about how Tinubu may not be best suited for the coveted seat without first embellishing his views about the personage of a man referred to as the Jagaban of Borgu Kingdom, a.k.a Lion of Bourdillon. He extolled his prowess at resisting the then powers that be against rigging out the then Action Congress which had transmuted from the Alliance for Democracy .

He would express further the opinions of some personalities with the resonating voice within the country’s polity like Pa Reuben Fasoranti, former leader of the pan-Yorùbá socio-cultural group, Afenifere, Mr. Elton Onwu, a member of the 2018 APC National Convention Committee and a member of the Screening Sub Committee both canvassing for a Tinubu Presidency.

Why Tinubu may play his own card may not be unconnected with the fact that over the years, he has always sacrificed his ambition for others to thrive in a party he formed. In his party, the north has always benefited the most, especially in flying the presidential ticket. If anyone is in doubt, let them ask Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, former EFCC Chairman.

Nigeria more than ever needs Asiwaju Tinubu, to build on whatever legacy the Buhari/Osinbajo Government must have laid down.

😂 it won’t work
