Shocker!! Afenifere rejects Atiku’s 2023 presidential ambition.
The eight years rule of President Buhari steadily creeps towards 2023 regional clamouring contests has commenced with Nigerians already throwing weight behind their individual candidates even when other political juggernauts are still hiding behind the media sphere and strategically nursing their ambitions.
The socio-political group, Afenifere, is not left out as they empathetically endorse any presidential candidate coming out of the All Progressive Congress as long as he emanates from the southwest region, thereby categorically rejecting Atiku’s 2023 presidential bid.
The Publicity Secretary in Ekiti State, Prince Michael Ogungbemi, who spoke on behalf of the group, said the Southwest had the prospect of producing the next President after President Muhammadu Buhari’s two terms in office.
The Afenifere group called for a united SouthWest to form a formidable force to ensure the goal of clinching the ticket is realised in the All Progressive Administration Congress with the support of the Northern region.
“We can’t go into that race with a divided house. Tinubu, Fayemi, Akande, Chief Reuben Fasoranti, Gen. Alani Akinrinade, Prof Banji Akintoye, Senator Femi Okurounmu, Senator Ayo Fasanmi, Chief Afe Babalola (SAN) and others must convene a meeting of progressive politicians in the zone so that we can be united. If we have a candidate that is acceptable to both the North and the South, we will surely win.
The rejection of Atiku’s presidential ambition is well spelled out by the non- partisan group, and perfectly understood by many Nigerians. We must unite and ensure that the Suthwest clinch the presidential ticket of APC to continue the wonderful development carried out by President Muhammadu Buahri.
