With about 13 days to the presidential election, a startling revelation has been made by a member of the Northern elite, who claimed that none of the APC governors in the North will be able to deliver for the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu in the February 25 poll.
Prof. Usman Yusuf, a one-time Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), disclosed this on Monday while featuring on Channels TV programme, the 2023 Verdict.
“None of the APC governors in the North, has the goodwill of the people to deliver anything to him (Tinubu)… None.
“Tinubu’s politics has been regional (especially) in Lagos “where he is Alpha and Omega, nobody challenges him,” he said.
The oncologist noted that although Tinubu might have “built people”, he insisted that the former Lagos governor still lacks the experience in national politics.
“His inexperience is showing. In the North, Tinubu is not talking to the people, he is merely contracting his campaign to praise singers and the APC governors.
“When it comes to the campaign hosting, he only dances and leaves,” Yusuf said.
On President Muhammadu Buhari’s wish to hand over to an APC candidate, the professor declared: “Only the people’s wish will prevail.”
“Buhari has squandered all the influence and goodwill which he has internationally and nationally and as such can see to birthing the dream of handing over to a candidate from the APC”.
Persecondnews recalls that Buhari had after Tinubu’s outbursts in Abeokuta against his perceived lack of support for him declared “total support” for him and also endorsed him at recent rallies.
