A Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
Board of Trustee, BoT, member, Chief Ebenezer Babatope, has stated that the All
Progressives Congress, APC, will field another Northern presidential candidate
to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
Babatope claimed that Southerners
in the APC were deceiving themselves that Buhari will handover to them in 2023.
Speaking with Independent on
Sunday, he claimed that the North would find it difficult to relinquish power
after Buhari’s second tenure.
According to Babatope: “Whatever
happens inside the APC is their headache. Some of our brothers in the
South-West have been deceiving themselves that somebody from the South-West
will be nominated by their party for the 2023 presidential election.
“But they are merely deceiving
themselves because the North will not let go easily and, as such, they will not
allow the South-West to field a candidate.
“So, if our South-West brothers
in the APC think the North will hand over to them in 2023, they are only
deceiving themselves”.
“They will never hand over power
to them or allow them to contest election. After Buhari, they will field
another Northerner. All I can do is to wish them well.”
