Elder statesman and former minister, Chief Ebenezer Babatope has bared his mind on the state of the nation…

“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.”
