Elder statesman, Tanko Yakassai has opened up on Bola Tinubu’s chances of becoming president in 2023

He said; “People are talking of Tinubu. Before Buhari won elections, he contested on his narrow platform which was limited to the North and he didn’t succeed. He approached Tinubu and his group and he succeeded.”

“Without their votes, Buhari wouldn’t have been President. Tinubu is likely to feature in the next presidential election. This is so because there are signs all over the place. So whoever wants that office should start working for it.”

“The North is a complex entity made up of different zones. Some people are not members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the North but they won elections.”

“What I can tell you is that there are people in the North who will support Tinubu and others who will support someone else. The North is more divided in terms of politics. There is no way it will speak with one voice in the politics of 2023.”
