Buhari May Spend Just One Term In Office, He May Already Have A Successor In Mind - Tinubu

Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC National
leader has hinted at the possibility of President
Buhari spending a single tenure in office. He
discussed this while expressing concerns over
the wave of defections by members of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Tinubu who spoke to newsmen betrayed his
political body language and showed concerns
about the defections from the opposition party
to the ruling party.
Tinubu also mentioned that the influx of the
PDP members ''will crumble the APC, especially,
if the President (Buhari) decides to do just a
term.
''The President Buhari I know, has very good
intentions for Nigeria and he would want to
handover to someone he deems not to be
corrupt. It is even possible that the President
already has a successor in mind. And the danger
is this; at the fullness of time, these PDP
defectors, will form an unholy alliance with some
politicians in APC and across the board, to
thwart the President’s succession plan. And that
will be the end of the APC, and a new rising for
the PDP.''
He said he does not celebrate the defection of
PDP politicians no matter the status, warning
that they are disaster in the making..
''I'm not elated about the news of former
senators and even serving ones, defecting to the
APC. Even if a governor from the opposition
defects today, I will not celebrate it. I think the
President should be leery and extremely cautious
of these PDP defectors, and should not give
them any serious responsibilities. Because at the
appropriate time, they will manifest great evil
and disaster against the President and the APC.''
Tinubu said.
He also congratulated Gov. Seriake Dickson of
Bayelsa state, on his reelection for another four
years and commended Chief Timipre Sylva of the
APC for putting up a gallant fight.
The APC has received in recent times Senator
Uche Ekwunife, Senator Jim Nwobodo, Former
PDP Executives in Akwa Ibom and thousands at
a mega rally in Jigawa state.
