Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Olusegun Bamgbose, Esq., a chieftain of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, has advised a former Governor of Lagos State and national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu against running in the 2023 presidential election.<\/p>\n

Bamgbose noted that although Tinubu has not actually publicly made known his intention, his body language shows he is very much interested in throwing his hat in the ring.<\/p>\n

Only recently, the Speakers of the Lagos Houses of Assembly, both past and incumbent, endorsed the former Governor, while there have been other endorsements in the recent past.<\/p>\n

Bamgbose, who had since made his interest public, said it is strongly advisable for the Jagaban of Borgu to resist the attempt to contest.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact remains that Tinubu could be said to be the most favoured politician in this century. He has been an unusual kingmaker,\u201d the senior lawyer said while addressing members of the NNPP in Aba, Abia State on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI doubt if there is any politician that can match his records politically. He was Governor of Lagos State for eight years.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter his tenure, he had the privilege to install Fashola who equally spent 8 uninterrupted years as Governor of Lagos State.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the tenure of Fashola, he was also privileged to install Ambode and even the present State Governor of Lagos State.<\/p>\n

\u201cApart from installing Governors of some other South-West states, he also had the unparalleled favour of bringing on board the President of Nigeria, Mohammadu Buhari and the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo politician in the history of Nigeria had had such historic privileges. The one million question begging for the answer then is,\u2019 what else does Tinubu still want\u2019 Believe you mean, God who has bestowed on him such uncommon favour, may not be pleased with him if he goes ahead to contest.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Lord has honoured and dignified him as a kingmaker, now he wants to become king, I seriously doubt if it will work out for him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe late MKO Abiola had a similar case and he couldn\u2019t make it. I\u2019ll therefore warn Tinubu with all sincerity not to displease God by making attempts to become the next President of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cI doubt if God will allow that. He should sit back and thank God for the uncommon privileges he has bestowed on him, rather than planning to be the next President of Nigeria. To before warned, is to before armed. A word is enough for the wise.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
