IBUKUN KING-OKUNEYE
A former running mate to MKO Abiola, Babagana Kingibe has backed Bola Tinubu, the All Progressive Congress presidential candidate to emerge as Nigeria President in 2023.
Kingibe, who spoke during a meeting with the APC presidential candidate, said Tinubu has made enough sacrifice and deserves to be the next president of Nigeria.
He said, “Eyin lo kan, (you’re the next), he said in Yoruba.
“You will move from Jagaban of Borgu to Jagaban of Nigeria; from Asiwaju of Lagos to Asiwaju of Nigeria. For all your sacrifices, for all your effort, God will reward you this time,” he added.
Last week Wednesday, Tinubu emerged as the APC presidential candidate after polling the highest number of votes at the party’s primary election in Abuja.
The APC National leader polled 1,271 votes to defeat other presidential aspirants of the party
