For now, who are you fighting for? You can\u2019t fight for Tinubu because already he is aged. He is already in UK hospital, do you want to be going back to London as we are going? We cannot take that thing again, we are okay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can vote Osinbajo direct because he is a person of integrity, he is loyal to the president, he can do anything you think of and he is not biased. When he speaks anywhere, he represents Nigeria, not ethnic or parochial view. I respect him and can go with him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Osinbajo is going with Zulum, before 12 O\u2019clock, we would have seen the results. But if you pick Tinubu, who will he pair with? I understand he wants to run with Boss Mustapha, who lost his ward in Hong in 2019. His younger brother bought the form for State Assembly, but did not succeed, is that who will be vice president?\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>On the agitation for power shift by the south and the attendant comments credited to Northern Elders Forum, Gololo threw his weight behind the north, saying the south should rather consult widely and dialogue with the north, rather than engaging in acts that would jeopardize their chances.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cI am solidly behind them. I\u2019m from the North. If you watch very well, the Governor of Ondo state, Akeredolu said if the party fails to zone the presidency to the South West, there will be no APC in 2023 in Nigeria. This is the same person, a sitting governor, who could not deliver his state to the president in 2019. A sitting governor who was defeated by PDP, and you are making this type of statement?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe just entered politics by chance because he has no background, otherwise, he has no business in politics. Some of his utterances don\u2019t make sense in politics. Party is supreme, no matter what. What matters in politics is whether you can deliver your ward. You cannot deliver your state as a sitting governor and you are saying there must be zoning. Zone to who?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLeft for people like him, Buhari would have lost the 2019 election. Already we know where we are going, we have the votes. Nobody can intimidate us using zoning. We have the votes and you have yours, let us go to the poll. We are not fighting, votes will determine who will be, simple\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He stressed that \u201cIn politics if you have a candidate in mind you want to campaign for, you can go round, discuss with the people, hold meetings with the local community \u2013 the elders, youths, women. But you cannot come out directly, after signing \u201cAnti-open grazing\u201d law and talk of zoning. He signed Anti-grazing law, but he cannot sign votes, we will sign that for ourselves in 2023\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
