2023 presidency a done deal for South West, says Senator Girei
Senator Abubakar Girei

Barely three years to the presidential race, a chieftain in the All Progressive Congress (APC), Senator Abubakar Girei, has said that North will support the South West to produce the next President in 2023 general election, advising northern interest groups to keep off the race because it is a done deal for the South West.

Senator Girei, who represented Adamawa Central zone during former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration, however, reserved comment on chances of South East for the presidency.



He was the immediate past Vice Chairman, Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), the northern socio-cultural mouthpiece.

In an interview with three select journalists, the former lawmaker said since South West helped in bringing President Muhammadu Buhari, a northerner, to power in 2015, “it is going to be pay back time for Northerners to help in bringing to power a man from South West to be our president in 2023.’

This was even as he blamed the former National chairman of the ruling APC, Adams Oshiohmole, for the party’s loss in the just concluded governorship election in Edo State.



He said ‘Oshiomhole made it impossible for the APC to win the governorship election in Edo State. His handling of the party affairs caused APC to lose elections in other States, apart from Edo.

‘Oshiomhole’s actions destroyed the party but for quick intervention of Mr. President, he would have sent APC into extinction. He was not adding any value to the party.’

Apparently advising Northern politicians to forget 2023 presidential race, Senator Girei said he saw potential presidential material in the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo.

‘APC and the entire north must support South West to produce the next president for this country because the South West supported the north to bring Buhari to power in 2015.

‘And I can see in the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo as a good material for the presidency. He is a professor, well educated and younger than any other person that may want to take a short at the presidency from that zone.

‘Well, for PDP, it will also have no alternative than to continue with Atiku Abubakar as it’s Presidential candidate in 2023.

‘So, I can tell you categorically that the 2023 presidency is already settled, a done deal. It is for the South West and north will support them to produce the President.’

Speaking on insecurity in the country, Senator Girei said President Buhari should yield to calls by Nigerians to sack the Service Chiefs because they may be responsible for increased insecurity in across the country.

‘There is nothing to justify the continue stay in office of the service chiefs. They have over stayed for too long.’

‘However, as bad as the situation may be today, it is better when compared to 2014 and towards 2015, and we supported Buhari because we thought he was going to make things better.

‘But Buhari has done much very well more than every op other past administration.’

On the fight against corruption and the ordeals the suspended chairman of Economic and Financial Crime Commission(EFCC), Ibrahim Magu is passing through, Girei said Magu was being witch-hunted by cabals in the Corridors of power.

The ACF Chieftain noted that the greatest mistake Buhari made was to remove Magu from office because ‘Magu may not be a saint but he is actually helping the country to fight corruption. Another two other persons that are helping to fight corruption are the President Buhari himself and the Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Anti-Corruption (PACA), Professor Itse Sagay.

‘So the cabals are fighting Magu because President Buhari was about to resend his name to the National Assembly for confirmation as the EFCC boss.’

On the country’s 60th independent anniversary celebration, Senator Girei said if not for COVID-19 challenges, it would have been celebration galore for Nigeria at 60 years of attaining freedom from the colonial masters because ‘our country is better than what it was in 2013 and 2014.’

The only thing that can keep APC beyond 2023 is osinbajo presidency..they should just beg him to contest...or else, APC will be forever forgotten.

Lipscomb:
Tinubu is not contesting for president

Osinbanjo I will vote but that Tinubu I can never put my vote for him

It's a done deal.. visible to the blind and audible to the deaf

In 2023, power will come back to the South; progressive SW and back to North in 2031. Those crying #EdonobeLagos should do their worst.

Tinubu is a good administrator. You don't have choice.

Osun man, when will you be bold to accept your Yorubaness? Virtually everyone in the politics section know your origin, yet only you keep deceiving yourself.

Yorubas are not led by Tinubu. Tinubu was rejected in Oyo state, even osun state was stolen. Ekiti and Ondo electorates will not bow to him. Only Lagos and Ogun he has. However the Lagos sef, it took him sharing money to thugs and hijacking ballot boxes in opposition's strongholds to win the election. Ambode had no balls too. Fayemi, Amosun, Akeredolu these are elite politicians at the moment and they are all against him. at the moment APC is dead in Oyo state. You people should stop ascribing leadership of the Yoruba race to a thug-breeder, he is leading himself and his pocket. Without the support of the presidency (which will be his downfall eventually) and the security forces aiding him, he wouldnt even have Lagos state in his pocket.

Any Yoruba person who wants Tinubu as the President of this shiithole is cursed from generation to generation.

Tinubu's family is not the only family in the Southwest.

And if the greedy & self-centered bastard called Tinubu is the only candidate that the covetous, vacuous & the non-thinking Yorubas have to present for the 2023 Presidential Race, then by all means, the Northerners might as well keep the Presidency.

Tinubu foisted this bastard government on us and rather than being remorseful for the failures, corruption, insecurity & the unfulfilled campaign promises of this useless administration, he's gunning for the Presidency.

Few days ago; The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) ordered all property owners and their agents to charge 6% Stamp Duty on all tenancy & lease agreements in spite of the crushing poverty that is sweeping across the Nation. Let me leave insecurity, nepotism and massive looting for another day.

What is Tinubu's reaction to this mindless & ill-thought wickedness to further impoverish the ever beaten & battered Nigerians?

Of course, he doesn't care as long as his Bullion Vans keep ferrying in the ill-gotten money.

Listen to me, I swear by all the Irunmoles, that bastard will carry the scar of his unfulfilled ambition to his grave no matter the number human sacrifice he makes.

They keep recycling their family members & friends in the Government while the citizens are left to die in penury.

The other day, the inglorious witch of Bourdillon, who doubles as a Pastor at the RCCG (you can imagine) said Nigerian Youths are lazy & only come her husband's residence to beg for money.

This is coming from a thieving bastard who has been a serving Senator since 2011 (3 Terms). A filthy & mindless thieving Politician ordained as a Pastor by another thieving bastard (Enoch Adeboye) whose calling is milking & swindling his gullible sheeples out of their hard-earned money.

https://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2018/8/senator-remi-tinubu-ordained-pastor-at-the-redeemed-christian-church-of-god.html

Perhaps, if you & your entire family members have not mortgaged & stolen their future, they wouldn't be coming to Bourdillon to beg you for crumbs.

I hear Seyi Tinubu is currently being groomed as the next Governor of Lagos State? 

Pelu ashe Obatala, Sango ati Oyeku Meji to wa lenu mii; Orun Alakèji ni iwo ati awon supporters e ma ti lo shèy Governor.

As long as I am alive, Tinubu will never smell Asorock, neither will his bastard son smell the seat of the Lagos State Government.

Senator Girei first before u start speaking for the entire north, how many bills did you sponsor to protect d lives & properties of ur constituents as a senator?

It’s like dis man is now one of the almajiris Odumakin described as hanging around Tinubu’s house waiting for stipends. It’s still too early to start lickin bourdillon balls, 2023 never reach na.

No doubt about that.

We will support an Osibanjo ticket.

Lol. Typical IPOBian. The Senator is now an enemy you must carry out character assassination on because you don't like his truthful message.

We have told you Igbos already. Nothing for you in 2023. Northerners are not politically dishonorable like you lot. It is "one good turn deserves another" with them.

Northern political elite have absolutely no reason, non at all, to support an Igbo candidate in 2023.
