Kogi state governor, Yahaya Bello has advised the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) not to contest for the office of the president in 2023.
Yahaya Bello said it’s time for Tinubu to allow the youths to emerge as president.
According to Bello, the former Lagos State governor should take a back seat and allow youths he has groomed to rule Nigeria.
Noting that the APC National leader has the right to contest in 2023, Bello said Tinubu should step back and allow the youths.
Bello stressed that Nigeria is not a Banana Republic that one or two persons can see as their personal properties.
According to Bello: “Senator Tinubu is one of our leaders and I respect him so much. He has played a very significant role in Nigeria’s democracy and has built a lot of people.
“He has paid his dues, and with all respect, as a son to him, my simple advice is that it is time for him to allow his children to take over the mantle of leadership and do it to the glory of God and his admiration.
“He should see that those children he raised are now doing well. Let him see how we manage this country in his lifetime.
“However, he has a right to run, nobody is questioning that.”
“Let me tell you that Nigeria is not a banana republic, which a committee of one or two persons will see as a personal estate or property,” Bello added.
As at the time of reportage, Tinubu is yet to declare his intentions to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari as Nigeria’s president.
Recently, Tunde Rahman, media aide to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu denied claims that Tinubu opened a campaign office in Abuja.
