One of the tasks for the polity towards 2023 is how to source for President Muhammadu Buhari’s successor, one who has capacity, and drive to heal the country’s ailments – rising insecurity, troubled economy and national cohesion.
At the end of the day, the game should return to the Southwest, where there is no shortage of men and material to contest a national election. Names have been mentioned, for instance, national leader of APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Vice President, Professor, Yemi Osinbajo, Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, and Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola, even though they are all keeping quiet and reasonably so.
Watchers expect the process to be seamless. With recent events and mutual distrust across the country, it appears the Muslim/Muslim scenario of 1993, when the defunct Social Democratic Party produced the late MKO Abiola and Ambassador Babagana Kingibe, two Muslims, cannot fly in 2023. As for Vice President Osinbajo, some groups are also marketing his potential for 2023. They say the Law Professor has discharged himself very well.
The governor of Ekiti State, Fayemi is another powerhouse of ideas available for the Southwest to present. Babatunde Raji Fashola is one man the motley crowd of Lagos has come to see as their friend or foe. Friend, when he governed them with uncommon passion, and foe, when he refused to tell them lies. He didn’t suffer fools gladly and was harsh when he needed to be harsh. Getting the job was what was uppermost to him and less the politics of it. For that reason, he is hardly in contention for grassroots space and hierarchical displays.
