Fact Check: Tinubu Lied About His Reason For Contesting The 2023 Presidency by lekanolas: 9:45am On Jun 21, 2022 |
Former governor of Lagos State and the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) , Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was quoted to have said that the highest position attained by any Lagosian in national leadership is the position of Chief Judge of the Federation (CJN). Tinubu made the claim when he paid a visit to the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, at his palace on Sunday. He told the Oba that he decided to contest the 2023 presidency in order to break that jinx. “There is no Lagos indigene that has had the opportunity to become President of Nigeria, despite the contribution of the State to the national stability and progress. The highest position attained by any Lagosian in national leadership is the position of Chief Judge of the Federation. “I took up the fight to break this jinx. The battle to secure the APC ticket was hard. When I was almost fed up, I resorted to prayers. I also poured out my mind when I felt there was a gang up against my person. Thank God that I have brought home the presidential ticket. “The task ahead is to galvanise our people to get their voter cards and vote to enable us realise this ambition. Getting our people to vote is the most important task before all of us” Highest position attained by any Lagosian in national leadership is the position of CJN? While it is true that no Lagosian has had the opportunity to become Nigeria’s President, it is completely false that the highest position attained by any Lagosian in national leadership is the position of Chief Judge of the Federation. It is possible that Tinubu was misquoted that highest position attained by any Lagosian in national leadership is the position of CJN. If not, he blatantly lied about his claim. The Nigerian presidential line of succession sets the ranking of Nigerian government officials who may become or act as President of Nigeria if the incumbent president becomes incapacitated, dies, resigns, or is removed from office (by impeachment). The ranking is as follows: Vice President Senate President Speaker of the House of Representatives Chief Justice of the Federation (CJF) Deputy Senate President Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives The above, except the CJF, are all elected officers of Government. The current Speaker of the House of Reps, Femi Gbajabiamila ,who was elected into that position on 12 June 2019, is from Lagos State. As it stands today, Gbajabiamila is above CJN Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad and is third in line for succession to the Nigerian Presidency, after the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and Senate President, Ahmed Lawan. https://newsday.com.ng/fact-check-tinubu-lied-about-his-reason-for-contesting-the-2023-presidency/ |
