LAGOS – Otunba Henry Ajomale, immediate past state chairman of the Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said on Wednesday that certain forces in the party were seriously ganging up against Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the party’s national leader, ahead of the 2023 presidential election.

He spoke a day after Dr. Junaid Mohammed, elder statesman and Second Republic federal lawmaker, said President Muhammadu Buhari and those around him had concluded plans to bar certain politicians from contesting in the 2023 general elections.

The outspoken Northern leader also said certain individuals had hijacked the ruling APC and were working to use the party to advance their personal interests.

Speaking exclusively with Daily Independent, Ajomale, who said attempts were being made to bar Tinubu from contesting for the highest political office of the land, said he hinged his belief on latest developments in the party.

“Of course, there are attempts being made by some people in the APC to stop Asiwaju’s presidential ambition. That is obvious. Because a lot of things are going on in the party which makes one to believe that there is a serious attempt at ensuring that the man doesn’t contest for the presidency of this country,” he said.

When asked why some members of the party were opposed to Tinubu emerging as the party’s presidential candidate, Ajomale said the reason was not known but might be due to the fact that his antagonists are also nursing presidential ambition and they feel threatened by Tinubu’s chances.

He said: “They are seriously ganging up against him but why they are doing that, nobody knows.

“Because every Nigerian has the right to contest for any position in this country inasmuch as he is qualified to do so. “I believe that Asiwaju is one of the leaders in the party and a leader in this country that cannot be denied any opportunity of contesting for any position in this country.

“So, to me, I know that there are so many gang-ups within the party from people who are afraid of Bola Tinubu. Maybe they are doing that because of their own ambition. But there is nobody that should be deprived of the opportunity to contest for any position in this country.”

Also speaking on the controversy trailing the issue of zoning, Ajomale, who was the Lagos State chairman of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), one of the parties that merged to form the APC, said there was an agreement that the presidency would be zoned to the South after the North had completed their terms.

He also warned the party leadership against taking any decision that would contravene the unwritten agreement among leaders of the party in 2015 that power should rotate between the North and the South.

While dismissing the claim that the APC might field another Northerner in 2023, he said the presidency goes to the South immediately President Muhammadu Buhari completes his tenure in 2023.

“I was part of the meeting where that agreement was reached, and it will do our party a lot of good if we can keep to the terms of that agreement as anything contrary may portend doom for the APC.

“The general expectation is that after President Muhammadu Buhari must have completed his tenure in 2023, then power should rotate to the South.
"It is a gentleman’s unwritten agreement, and we should be honourable by keeping to that agreement. If we do anything contrary, it will do APC a lot of incalculable damage. We in the South will not fold our hands if any group or individual attempts to derail this arrangement.

“We know what the South, especially the South West, did to ensure that Buhari emerged as the president in 2015. Before then, he had contested and lost on more than two occasions. It was when he entered into an alliance with South West leaders that it became possible for him to win the presidency. So, it will be unfair to deny the South the presidency in 2023,” he pointed out.

They have made this nation a big mess yet they are still obsessed with a 2023 that is still years away.Shebi una say baba is an immovable iroko tree in APC? So wetin happened again nah? Abeg fight the gang up first
Nothing unusual because politics is full of treachery and backstabbing.

Nothing wey fit make Tinubu make am to presidency

Old man is deceiving himself
He's not ganged up......they are just realising that they already have a failed candidate

Even we westerners will not support that slow poke fella

The thing don deh clear for APC eye .. it's too late

Hmmm

Dem don dey complain one by one.
Yesterday it was Junaid, today Ajomale, Tomorrow Uzodinma

Tinubu should not contest...








I repeat, Oga Jagaban... no contest, just dey in charge.

Someone tell him not to waste money.
He should spend it on other things.

Even if they don't gang up against him, he doesn't stand a chance of winning even a lagos state election anymore.

It's old age ganging up against him, nothing more. He should go and sit down. They brought us this far.
Autopilotccountry. Useless leaders. Senseless followers.

People who ganged up against Tinubu are in the know about how he allegedly held Lagos State in bondage and don't want him to extend it to Nigeria.

Politicians and their dirty game!

That’s the norm in politics. It is left for him to fight his enemies and become victorious

Whatever

Which election doesn't have gang ups, if they gang up against you, gang up against them too.

Brilliance is a virtue.....

Ok

Another morning another Tinubu headline

As much as this is a baseless rumour,

Tinubu is not a small boy when it comes to fighting for his right against Presidency

He sponsored Nadeco and contacted CIA and they fought Abacha till the day he died

He fought Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and Chief Afe Babalola who are 100 times more intelligent than Buhari and Malami

He fought and kicked out Goodluck Jonathan from Aso Rock


So if Buhari and Malami wants to fight , then no big deal

or who else is "Presidency" ?!
Aisha Buhari who is recouping in Dubai after treatment,
Maman Daura who is in UK receiving treatment, Agboola Gambari the new Cheif of Staff,
Abubakar Malami SAN who hasn't won a case as AGF in a long while



.

They should even gang up beat am self..
I will never hate anyone but tinubu get mind carry 2 bullion van use the money install WICKEDNESS PRO MAX on the citizens and he too wants to install himself again?
No be birds of a feather dem be?
They are eager to jet out to receive treatment abroad, no be for Ile we dey ko esho rode ni?

Seriously... dem use old men swear for us for this country?

Good lucky to him

was he even expecting a smooth sailing.... it would be betrayal if South West don't support the Eastern part of Nigeria and present a candidate

it means the distrust between igbo and yoruba would deepen more ....

the yoruba must jettison any presidential ambition and support the igbo...


can't the South speak with one voice ?

Makutele, Make something good out of your life, so that your name can be mentioned on front page too

Badorey1:
If predicting Tinubu topic will get to front page is a bet, I would have been rich by now.

It’s sure odd that Tinubu news will be on front page on Nairaland daily.

APC is a scam


meanwhile watch this
