Igbo social cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has frowned at the alleged 2023 Presidential ambition of Bola Tinubu, the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The deputy national publicity secretary of the group, Chuks Ibegbu, made the group’s position known in an interview with reporters on Friday, July 29, in Umuahia, Abia state.
Ibegbu said: “This is the time for him and other Nigerians that made their wealth solely from Nigeria’s politics, to pay back to the society what they milked directly and indirectly. I wonder why and how Tinubu could nurse such ambition when the south east and the third leg of Nigeria is yet to occupy the position. “I laud Tinubu’s courage and efforts to deepen the democratic space from the June 12 days, but it appears diminishing return is now setting in. I think it’s high time for him to help build an equitable and just Nigeria.
“He should be less controversial and less ambitious, so that, those who cherish his doggedness will not abandon him in the years ahead. Let him listen to the voices of wisdom from Yoruba land. You know our Yoruba brothers are known as arbiters of fairness and justice.”
Ohanaze Nidgbo’s reaction came shortly after Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe, a former minister of works, was quoted saying that Tinubu is the best person to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
Ogunlewe, who recently dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the APC said that he will support Tinubu if he runs for presideny in 2023.
