Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Rights activist Shehu Mahdi has placed doubts over the 2023 ambition of former Lagos governor, Bola Tinubu.<\/p>\n

The outspoken Northerner suggested that the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate cannot be trusted.<\/p>\n

Mahdi commented on a video that showed Tinubu addressing an assembly of party women leaders and members in Abuja.<\/p>\n

\u201cAssurance is here, promise is here, prosperity is here, health is here, security is here…banditry has ended\u201d, the APC flagbearer said.<\/p>\n

Mahdi, a supporter of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate Atiku Abubakar, said Tinubu\u2019s followers would be disappointed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you believe BAT, then you can as well believe anything. With everything about him shrouded in the coat of doubt, suspicion, and uncertainty.<\/p>\n

\u201cHuge disappointment from Tinubu awaits those believing him,\u201d Mahdi tweeted on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The Katsina-born commentator was in the news recently for advising Christians in the North not to vote for candidates from the South.<\/p>\n

Mahdi claimed that a vote for Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) standard bearer, would amount to support for Biafra secession agitation.<\/p>\n

The Conference Of Northern Christians And Minority (CNCM), and the Coalition of Northern Elders For Peace and National Unity (CNEFPNU), among other organizations, condemned the comments.<\/p>\n
