2023: War Looms As Yoruba Council Accuses Northerners Of Plans To Roll Out Tinubu

Mohammed Oluwatimileyin Taoheed reports,

In the Southwest, a socio-political team called the Yoruba Council Worldwide popularly called Igbimo Apapo Yoruba Lagbaye, has accused the Northern political group of ready schemes to roll the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Ahmad Tinubu, out of his bid ahead the 2023 general election.

While briefing Track News Nigeria on Sunday, Aare Omoluabi Oladotun Hassan, who is the President-General of the Group, stated the Council has credibly informed of the plot to take out Tinubu in a bid to create flexible way for the emergence of Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as president in 2023.

In his speech, the decision to resort to the pursuing Tinubu’s disqualification through the Independent National Electoral Commission was taken after some Northern power brokers realised the futility of their attempt to impose Senator Ahmed Lawan as the APC presidential candidate.

Aare Omoluabi also added that there was a plan to launch a media war of calumny against Tinubu over his certificates scandal, but cautioned that the Council will not put up with what it described as ‘premeditated treachery’ against the former governor of Lagos.

He noted, “We warn against the ensuing and deadly political card by the Northern supremacist and sectional interests, specifically targeted at forcing Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) out of the way in order to pave way for a Northern presidential candidate of another political party.

“We are fully inundated with details of their deceitful and clandestine operations to desperately and forcefully bring in through the back door Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the PDP and back him to emerge as President come 2023.

“The Yoruba Council Worldwide wishes to inform that we shall not tolerate any clandestine motive to repeat the evil machinations meted against Chief Obafemi Awolowo and Chief MKO Abiola both of whom were politically wrecked by the power thirsty Northern supremacists who are hell-bent to retain power in the North under any political party divide.”

While warning alleged ethnic chauvinist from the North to desist from playing any card that will turn the Nigerian State into a Northern courtyard, the organisation expressed confidence that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu would provide solutions to Nigeria’s plethora of problems come 2023.
