2023: Tinubu Cannot Make It To Aso Rock – Adebanjo

Afenifere Leader, Ayo Adebanjo, has revealed why the Southwestern part of Nigeria cannot produce a president in 2023.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that elder statesman and leader of the Yoruba apex socio-political organisation, Afenifere, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, has said that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) cannot be Nigeria’s president in 2023 because of the three Southern geopolitical zones, it is only the southeast region that has not produced president since the country returned to Democracy in 1999.

The frontline presidential candidate of southeast extraction is Peter Obi, the flag-bearer of the Labour Party. Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, has been endorsed by Chief Adebanjo’s Afenifere group.

During his appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Chief Adebanjo explained that he is refusing to back Tinubu, his tribesman, because, for eight years, a Yoruba man was president (Olusegun Obasanjo).

“In my earlier statement, I have given the reason why southwest cannot be (president in 2023).

“In the South, South-south has served its own; southwest has served its own, southeast is the only remaining one. Is Southeast not part of the South? That is the question.
