Tinubu is corrupt, Nigeria does not need him as president – APC Chieftain

Former member of the House of Representatives and chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) from Niger State, Hon. Adamu Kuta, has taken a swipe on the national leader of the party, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, over his recent claim that he (Tinubu) is under pressure to contest the presidency in 2023.

Briefing reporters in Minna on Tuesday, Kuta said that the APC national leader is not the president Nigeria wants in 2023.

The former federal lawmaker maintained that regardless of which region the next president will come from, Nigeria needs a leader that can consolidate on the achievements and the foundation that President Mohammadu Buhari has laid, especially the anti-corruption campaign.

On which region should produce the presidency in 2023, the former lawmaker declared that “the Nigeria constitution does not recognize zoning of political offices, the president can come from anywhere.

“The last general election had presidential candidates from every region of the country and nobody stopped them because the constitution recognizes them… So every region has the constitutional right to field candidates for any elective position in the country.

“Our focus should be how to get a credible candidate that will take over from Buhari in 2023, regardless of the region the person will come from. We want the best for the country.”
