A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Segun Sowunmi, has asked Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State to dump the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Sowunmi, a spokesman for the PDP Presidential Campaign Council in 2019, made the remark during an interview on Friday’s episode of Politics Today on Channels Television.

“If I was to take anybody from APC … I think I will be looking at Yahaya Bello,” he said in response to a question on who he would support to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari, other than a member of the main opposition party.

“Why? He (Bello) is young, he ticks your box. He’s been a governor. I have been watching the kinds of things he’s doing, I read the kind of people who are endorsing him, but I know that he is in the party where they will never look at him.

“So maybe I will just say to my friend Yahaya, ‘come to PDP; even if you don’t get Presidency now, we will make you a president one day in our party’. But if you stay with that party, I don’t trust them. They don’t like young people … the only thing they are interested in is their narrow fixation on what they interpret to be the Nigeria of now.”

As Nigerians anticipate the process to elect another leader into the highest office in the land, political actors and parties have begun to intensify efforts at getting their anointed candidate to succeed the President.

Although President Buhari has said he would prefer to keep the identity of his preferred candidate undisclosed, some of the APC members tipped for the office of the Presidency include Yemi Osinbajo, Bola Tinubu, Godswill Akpabio, Rotimi Amaechi, Rochas Okorocha, and Yahaya Bello, among others.

Among those in the PDP are Atiku Abubakar, Aminu Tambuwal, Bukola Saraki, Goodluck Jonathan, Pius Anyim, Bala Mohammed, and Peter Obi.

Despite his position on Governor Bello, Sowunmi believes Atiku remains the best candidate to be elected in the 2023 elections.

According to him, the former vice president fits into the attribute required of the next president, such as age and fitness, religion, ethnicity and zoning, quality of character, ideas, as well as someone who has a unifying persona that can help galvanise the nation.

“I have always said, when it comes to Atiku Abubakar, the issue is not really about where he comes from; the issue is usually about the kind of ideas he stands for over the years,” the PDP chieftain stated.

He added, “I believe that where people come from is an accident on birth and I also hold very strongly that in this country, there is one error we make often – we tend to assume that there are three souths made up of the south-south, the south-east and the south-west and then when we get to the north, we pretend that there is just one north.

“To the best of my knowledge, the North Central has not produced a president in this dispensation; the North East has not produced a president in this dispensation; the South East has not produced a president in this dispensation.”

I agree
He is young
He has the energy
He has the connect
He has a huge stake in the party
He has the people especially young population rallying for him

A PDP man endorsing Yahaya Bello already

2023 looks fun

Watch out for Bello

Both of them could be part of the planned new party cos Sowunmi can't even get Pdd ticket in Ogun state.. GNI have more chances than him

Mind games

Segun knows a Yahaya Bello ticket cannot be defeated

But Bello is not leaving the APC

Which young population are rallying for him?

Nbotee:


Which young population are rallying for him?

You no get tv for house?

The question was who would have been his candidate of choice in the APC, and that's what necessitated the response.

But I believed Segun Sowunmi is trying to bait the APC to give their presidential ticket to Yaya Bello who is a colossal failure and a huge disappointment in order for PDP to have an effortless victory

a governor without a single complete project for 8yrs in is state!

E go do some people like abrakadabra. Bello

Damnnn niggar
Isoright
Apc is full of shit

I don't know about south west or south east


But come 2023 we the south south will not be govern by any dam northerner

Even if he comes to PDP, they won't give him the ticket.

But to be honest, Bello is making waves more than I expected him to.

Maybe it about time we split

Yahaya Bello? Buhari’s failure will be success compared to Bello’s. This present suffering will be like enjoyment if Bello ever steps into Aso Villa.

Forget the image laundering and all. Just go to Kogi and ask questions.


Seems Nigerians never learn

Nbotee:

You get energy


Imagine from buhari to Bello

This one na see finish

These people think we're complaining about a young or old president.

Looking at the governor's track record, what has he done?

Delivery and character is what matters. Since when is age a determinant of a good leader.


Nonsense and ingredients

What meaningful thing has this guy done in Kogi to warrant putting up his name for Presidenc Kogi is one the poorest states in this country with civil servant owed months of salaries, gratuity and pensions and this is who they want to be President. Such an unfortunate country.

Media people are evil seriously
He was asked to pick somebody from APC and He picked Yahaya Bello, look at what they reported
