Chieftain of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), Olusegun Bamgbose has said that he has prepared himself to take over Presidency from Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) in 2023, Eko Hot Blog reports.
Bamgbose declared that 2023 would be a year which will spring great surprises, citing the recent demonstrations against bad governance in Nigeria as a taste of what is to come.
“2023 is a year of changing the status quo. It’s never going to be business as usual,” Bamgbose posited while addressing a crowd of NNPP supporters in Lagos on Wednesday.
Bamgbose, a frontline legal practitioner, said that not even political heavyweights such as the National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, will not stop him from taking over the presidency come 2023.
“The Nigerian youths will certainly set the pace come 2023. I’m strategically positioning myself to take over from Buhari, not minding the odds and the obstacles,” he added.
“Nigerians in 2023 will have to choose between a richer candidate or a better candidate, a popular candidate or a passionate candidate.
