Tinubu: APC Group Calls For Adoption Of Chief Ezekiel Afunkoyo As VP

By Godson Ikpontu

A pro-All Progressives Congress (APC) group, on the aegis of APC Youth Development Forum(APC-YDF), has called on the national leadership of the party and its presidential candidate, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to consider and adopt Chief Ezekiel Afunkoyo as his Vice Presidential candidate.

While the party has less than two days to make decision on who to fly the joint ticket with the presidential candidate, there have been divergent opinions on the personality and geo-political zone to be considered in picking the Vice Presidential candidate.

In a statement released on Wednesday in Abuja by the National President of APC-YDF Comrade Solomon Audu while reacting to ongoing consultations on the options available to the party in considering a presidential pair for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

He said “The call to adopt Chief Ezekiel Afunkoyo as Tinubu’s Vice is based on his performance as a businessman, acceptability among his colleagues and Nigerians, his sense of justice and equity as well as his contributions to the development of APC as a ruling party.”

He said Cheif Ezekiel is known for “his personal sound character and his gentle disposition, a bridge between the young and the old, who has no record of religious bigotry, physically fit and mentally balanced, a bridge-builder between the North and the South, which makes him suitable for the position.

“The experience gained as a politician will certainly come in handy in his role as Vice President".

He, however, explained that it is time for Taraba State to produce the next Vice President.

He noted that Taraba state has produced commited and devout leaders who have left no stone unturned in ensuring the growth and betterment of the party both at state and national levels.

He therefore called on the attention of the leadership of the party as well as the APC presidential candidate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to look towards Taraba state to produce a running mate for his Presidential race.

Comrade Audu further hailed Former two times Governor of Lagos State, Tinubu and assured him of the support of the teaming Nigerian youths in the forthcoming general polls.

He also encouraged the leadership of the party to be conscious of the plight of the people with emphasis on balanced governance for the sake of peace and unity.

Meanwhile, Afunkoyo was a key player to the victory of APC in 2015, haven made selfless commitments and sacrifices with massive campaigns across the northeast and Nigeria in entirety.

He is currently the Chairman of the the Board of Management of Nnamdi Azikiwe University Hospital. He is a 3times Governorship Aspirant in Taraba State and also a Member of the Presidential Defence Think-tank Committee. Chief Afukonyo was the Chairmanship Candidate for National Republican Convention Party from 1994 to 1995. In 1995 untill 1996, he held the position of Director Research and Member Board of Trustees of the Democratic People's Party(DPN).

In 2011 he was appointed as GMB 2011 Campaign Coordinator for Taraba State and was later a Gubernatorial Aspirant of the then newly birthed Congress for Progressive Change(CPC) in Taraba State. He led a massive crusade of Supporters during the 2015 general elections, which birthed President Muhammadu Buhari as President under the victorious mandate of APC. In 2019, Chief Afukonyo made several efforts to ensure that the ruling All Progressive Congress-APC remained in power, especially at the presidential level which was achieved.

Man looks like a junkie. Please don't ever pair two junkies together. They will smoke up the sovereign wealth fund

I know this won't happen

Those northeners can't still sit and allow a v.p to be chosen from another tribe.....

Las Las we are OBIdient...

Jagaban

Nigeria politics
Your One Stop solution for all of your printing and packaging needs. We cater small quantities to large volumes equally considering the good quality

If Tinubu like let him go and choose Pope or imam of Truth as VP.

I doubt the fact that northerners will accept him as he's not an Hausa/Fulani man. Northerners hardly see north central people as part of them, as they are not core Hausa.

They should go and sit down in a beer parlor joor. Lol

Good luck to BAT. His campaign should publicly address this below as it has the potential to derail him, bearing in mind it's by his personal biographer who knows him inside out, and knows where the bodies are buried.
Here's the verbatim transcript:
---------------------------------------------
First, Bolanle Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu has already signed a supernatural covenant or an agreement with a marine principality in Lagos State Nigeria. Thus says the Lord: "Woe to that man who puts his trust in idols and demons."

So, it happened when he was the governor of Lagos State during his first term and while his adopted mother, Mama Abibatu Mogaji was alive, the rituals were prepared. It was between 12 midnight and 3:00am, the chief executive ordered the whole of Ikeja the seat of government be in darkness. He - in sheer unclothedness - carried all the rituals and the accompanying incantatory objects down to the Lagos Bar Beach. Hear the Voice of the Lord Jesus Christ who reveals what is in secret: "I will raise up a man after my heart who will do as I want, he will burn the altar of Baal and the priests of the false prophets in Lagos, Nigeria and so he would cleanse the land." (2 Chronicles 34:5).

Finally, and lastly, the Holy Spirit says, the hands of Bolanle Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu are soiled with innocent blood. "Tell him," Says the Lord of hosts "Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground." And the Sovereign Lord God Almighty cried: "Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by injustice! (Habakkuk 2:12), "Woe to the city of blood, full of lies, full of plunder, never without prey" (Nahum 3:1) and "'Woe to him who amasses what is not his and makes himself rich with many loans! How long will this go on?" (Habakkuk 2:6). And I did as Daniel did of old: You Lord God Almighty, You are truly the God of gods and Lord of kings, the Revealer of Mysteries, since you were able to reveal this mystery. Power, Honor, and Majesty belong to You forever and ever Amen." Asiwaju Bolanle Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu, the Jagaban of Borgu and the holder of many traditional titles has the right to contest for the presidency in 2023, but he will not win so my prophecy declares.

Tinubu . This man is just showing up everywhere you go.

Hisbah21:
