President Bola Tinubu has been told to reconsider his actions, cautioning that they could have significant consequences as he approaches his bid for a second term.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been told that his second term bid is at risk if he continues to sideline those who fought for his emergence at the seat of power.
This assertion was made by Otunba Segun Sowunmi, a governorship aspirant in Ogun State under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Recall that El-Rufai, while serving as governor of Kaduna State, was one of President Bola Tinubu’s poster supporters in the build-up to the 2023 general election.
El-Rufai was regarded as one of those who fought against Northern candidacy for the presidency in the All Progressives Congress.
However, he was delisted from the ministerial nomination list during his clearance process at the Senate.
Reacting to this turn of events, Sowunmi stated that Tinubu’s new body language has begun to recreate the notion that the Yoruba race is known for betrayal.
He said, “The Yorubas already carry misconceptions about betrayal, that we don’t keep our end of the bargain.
“That we use and dump people.
“That we are cunning around the power play.
“Except Olusegun Obasanjo who as both in and outside power as military and civilian head of state kept his side of the agreement with his partners who got him into power.
“It seems President Bola Tinubu is unmindful of this and the consequences of the same.
He stated further, “Nasir El-Rufai, say what you will about him, he supported Asiwaju fully during the primaries and the general elections. Pray how has he been treated? Same El-Rufai now has a security report that humiliated him during a Senate clearance made up of a majority of Tinubu men!
