He said: “I see it as a well-designed ploy to split Yoruba votes so that Tinubu will not be able to get the support he could have gotten from the South West during the party convention. “I hope everybody will be aware. I want people both from the South West and the rest of the country to see through this conspiracy and do the needful to truncate it.”
PEGASUS REPORTERS, LAGOS | APRIL 12, 2022
Alhaji Tanko Yakassai, an elder statesman and founding member of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) yesterday described Vice President Yemi Osinbajo the declaration to seek the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a conspiracy designed to truncate the aspirations of Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu.
Alhaji Yakassai who spoke in an exclusive chat with New Telegraph, while acknowledging Osinbajo’s qualification to run for the office of the President of Nigeria, said that the Osinbajo’s ambition was being propelled by some people who would not be happy if Tinubu emerges as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to Yakassai, the move is ill-motivated to the extent that it will split the votes of the South-west delegates when APC holds its national convention for the purpose of nominating its presidential flagbearer for the 2023 general elections.
