January 16, (THEWILL) – The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State, Hon. Sikirulai Ogundele, has said that the presidential ambition of the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, will not affect his party’s chances of winning the 2023 presidential election.
THEWILL recalls that Tinubu recently met with President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja to inform him about his intention to contest the highest elective position in Nigeria.
But, Ogundele, while speaking in an exclusive interview with THEWILL boasted that Tinubu’s ambition would not stop whoever emerges PDP presidential candidate from taking over the reins of power at the centre, come 2023.
He said the APC would not give Tinubu its presidential ticket because it was built on lies and deceit and used to cajole Nigerians into voting for Buhari in 2015 and 2019, respectively
The chairman added that Nigerians would decline voting for the APC national leader because his party had failed them, noting that the Economic Crime and Financial Commission(EFCC) allegations leveled against him would also affect his ambition negatively.
He said, “Tinubu has the constitutional right to contest for president. It is now left for Nigerians to decide whether they want Tinubu or not. Let me tell you, APC was built on deceit, lies and propaganda. Nigerians are tired of their lies.
“Nigerians will not vote for Tinubu, considering all the allegations against him. In fact, INEC will not even consider him for the presidential election. I don’t see him passing through the screening of INEC,” he added.
