Cross River governor Ben Ayade says All Progressives Congress (APC) leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is qualified to be president.

"He worked and fought hard for Muhammadu Buhari's victory, so, if the slot is zoned to the South, Tinubu deserves to contest," Ayade told BBC Pidgin Service.

"I stand with the party and will support anyone who wins the candidacy of our party.

"If Tinubu is not the one, the APC needs to respect him and dialogue with him. I know he's a human being too and would follow peace.

"I'll gladly lead any delegation to plead with him in case the party goes for another presidential candidate in 2023," Ayade said.

it will amuse me if he fail to win the primary election. I hope he will not collapse. all this old mugus should go and rest

Tinubu will commit suicide after the primaries

Ok

Leading a delegation us a welcome development as long as it is Osinbajo that picks the ticket

Another disaster being packaged for 2023

They are consoling baba in advance

Only God knows ...
But Tinubu shud go ad rest

Useless Individuals...Both the citizens and the political class are the same.. Who ever becomes president cannot change the corruption mentality of Nigeria and Nigerians.

This man may know what is being planned and hatched already...he is technically giving Tinubu expo on what to expect so he won't be in shock.

Interesting. I'm so thinking aloud

You guy's are lacking emotional intelligence,
Why can't you guy's commenting Here understand what Ayade is saying?
Tinubu will be disgraced, Ayade is only telling you people that after they must Have rendered Tinubu useless, they will still go and beg him for disgracing him but I Know that both Tinubu and his mypoic supporter's here will Never see The hand writing on the wall.

Crytic message! Though Ayade is a new outsider, the permutations are clear to him.

Hmmmm...this is deep!

Hmmmmmmmmm,let us wait till then

There's likely no possibility of Osinbajo contesting against Tinubu in the primaries.
It won't happen.

One will most likely step down for the other.

I will support your delegation that will go and plead with him, after all he gave us what we are going through.

They are already sending signals to him on what to expect. What if Amaechi gets the ticket with all that is happening lately

It's either Tinubu, Osinbajo or Fashola, otherwise, we kill APC.



Meanwhile, Tinubu is the most popular southern politician in the north.




I AM DONE TALKING

The best comment on this post

I doubt SW APC will ever agree to work with their national body if that happens.. the SW votes will swing to PDP and whoever PDP fields as candidate (hopefully a southerner) will carry the day. This is where Igbos are supposed to think but no, Yoruba hate has beclouded their sense of judgement.

After 2023, I don't see the West aligning with the North again in anything if Tinubu is sidelined.. means the ab0kis can't be trusted anymore. The future of the country looks bleak.

Good for you!

I'm weeping tears of joy, everyone knows Tinubu deserve this presidency Ayade is a good example of SS don't share Hokorow hatred for Yoruba.

The hand writing is clear! They will deny tinubu the ticket. However, Osinbajo will be nominated to please tinubu and the southwest. This I have seen.

Love the comments by Southsouthern politicians recently. If Tinubu is not given the ticket, Ben AYADE, Akpabio and Omo-Agege should go to beg Tinubu. Let South South politicians lead the delegate of those going to beg him so that shame nor go let am say no. Afterall he fight us na, abi?

If APC like, make dem give Tinubu ticket, if them like make dem nor give am. Wetin I know be say South South dey vex for am seriously, more reason he never step feet inside South south since he start consultation. Na North and West be he only hope.

Tinubu won't get it, weep today weep tomorrow weep forever

See this ekpa. Blink how? Future of Southwest look beak and not that of Nigeria. Idiot.

If North nor want your partnership, dem go for South south or east. Afterall

I don't expect both Tinubu and Osinbajo to drag APC candidacy with each other.

One will step down for the other, Tinubu should respect himself and step down.
