According to Mohammed: “The problem will be if PDP put him forward, the strength he has in the party now is not what he had during the party’s convention in Port Harcourt.
“Two, it’s an open secret that Tinubu is desirous of contesting the 2023 presidential election. In my view, he has what it takes to contest the election on the platform of APC.
“The genesis of this attempt to undermine Tinubu emanates from the Presidency to governors to Ministers. But that those not disqualify him nor would Buhari’s hatred disqualify Atiku.
“Atiku can emerge as candidate of PDP but those not guarantee that he would be the president.
“In this day and age no country is an island no matter how big you are, you must learn to relate with other country.
“Tinubu has been a governor while Atiku has been a Vice President under one of Nigeria’s most remarkable president though controversial.
“I think Tinubu’s problem will come if he wins the nomination and decide to pick somebody outside the North and a Muslim.
“In the case of Atiku, Northeast is essentially a war zone so conducting a campaign and election in such an area today is a challenge, but he has a history of being rootless so he may pull it off but I don’t know.
“Neither Atiku nor Tinubu is a nepotist non of them has the reputation of bringing their relations while in government but in the case of Buhari every major appointment has the imprint of his cronies, friends, families, and to make it worse non of them have done well.”
