You’re a kingmaker, can’t be president, ACF tells Tinubu
By Ibrahim Adeleke
The Arewa Youths Consultative Forum, AYCF, has called on the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, to turn back from contesting the coming 2023 presidential election.
The National President of AYCF, Alhaji Shettima Yerima, while ventilating over the presidential election, said it would be better for Tinubu to remain the kingmaker rather than contesting the race.
He also said Nigeria at a time like this needs a younger person as president.
According to Shettima: “We need more younger and vibrant elements to champion or pilot the affairs of the country, so it’s wrong for the likes of him (Tinubu) that is supposed to be in the background to start yearning on coming back to rule the country.
“We can’t expect to continue doing one thing the same way and expect to get a different result, nobody is happy with the way this country is, so I expect the likes of him to play advisory roles on how the country should move forward.
“He has been a kingmaker, and in most cases, a kingmaker can’t become a king; that is the natural aspect of it.
“However, it will be better if he yields to advise and do the needful, but nobody would deprive him of contesting because it’s within his constitutional right, but Nigerians will decide at the ballot.
“In 2023, we are going to work on competency, and anybody can contest; whoever feels they want to contest should come up with their best 11, and we will come forward with us in the North, and Nigerians will decide.”
