2023: Tinubu Offered The Presidency To Atiku, Ribadu – Keyamo Opens Up On ‘Emilokan’ Movement

Spokesman for the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential campaign, Festus Keyamo, has opened up on the reason his principal, Bola Ahmed Tinubu said that it is rightfully his time to rule.
Keyamo shared his thoughts on Tinubu’s presidential ambition during a Twitter Spaces Programme organised by the ABAT (Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu) media team.

He alleged that Tinubu gave the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar a soft landing when he was “thrown out” of the PDP.

According to him, Atiku’s decision to contest by not respecting the zoning principle is one of the reasons the opposition party is in crisis.

He said, “In 2007, Asiwaju decided to call on Atiku who had been thrown out of the PDP at that time because Obasanjo ordered a re-registration of all PDP members because he wanted to weed out people like Atiku.

“And so when Atiku went back to his Jada ward, even as Vice-President, they refused to give him a membership card. That was how they threw Atiku out of the PDP. What happened? Asiwaju had already oiled the political machine called the AC at that time.

“He invited Atiku and gave him the ticket on a platter of gold. Asiwaju could have gone for President but he saw the mood of the nation because Obasanjo was just finishing his Presidency. So he knew that the presidency could not remain in the South. That’s a kind of nationalist, patriotic person that Asiwaju is. He decided to give Atiku the ticket, Atiku failed in 2007.”

Speaking further, he said that in 2011, Tinubu was still the leader of Action Congress but refused to pick the presidential ticket, instead he invited Mallam Nuhu Ribadu to run for President.

Keyamo said after 2011, Asiwaju stretched his hand across the Niger through President Muhammadu Buhari and created a platform and supported him.

He argued that Tinubu has at every point in time, put the nation first.

“He bided his time and when the North had finished its eight years, that was what brought the popular phrase of Emilokan. He is not doing it as a matter of right, but he is just saying that, ‘I have paid my due, its time for the nation to look at my way,’ he is not doing it out of arrogance,” Keyamo added.

Kikikiki...as in.
Next track abeg

A vote for Obi is still a win win for Tinubu as he will be appointed minister of gutters and drainage in Nigeria

That means more yoruba's will be employed to clean gutters

Jagaban for life

North what Keyamo is saying is that Asiwaju is the owner of APC that's why he named it Asiwaju People's Congress



Northerners let's drop his broom for him

A vote for Atiku or Kwakwanso in the North is a vote for who?

This also sheds light that Tinubu has always been against any permutation that does not involve him spearheading it even if its for the greater good.. that is not a good quality of a leader.

Tinubu begged Atiku to take the platform because Obasanjo just finished his term, the North was to take the reigns, while Obasanjo had Yar-adua, Tinubu whom was a sworn enemy of Obasanjo pushed for Atiku whom likewise was not on good terms with OBJ due to corruption.

Thank God the truth is finally out on Tinubu's stand with Ribadu for those that claim he supported GEJ.
He pushed for Ribadu because he felt he could get the North due to the conflict between GEJ and the north at the time for power shift, not minding Nigerians were pushing for the goose that lays the eggs to finally feel accomodated... he was always against the south if he was not the one to take power..

Please dont re-write history....

The best politian of our time... Long live the king

Your divisive noise won’t work. They are wiser than you.

Tribalism will destroy the last that is Nigeria. I’m from Oyo state, but I chose Peter Obi. It’s not as if Tinubu is incapable, but Obi is the most prepared to take us out of the Buhari & APC Mess. Those backing Tinubu based on tribe, should ask the North their experiences

Nigerians don't need someone looking for leadership on turn by turn basis, rather a leader that knows why he is looking for leadership position and what Nigerians need at the moment.
