Legit.ng gathers that the PDP leader said he doesn’t see President Muhammadu Buhari as a threat to the opposition party’s chances of taking over the presidency in 2023.
He also ruled out the president’s chances of succeeding as a candidate in any election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
His words:
“There are only two people in the APC that give me a headache.
“I’m worried about Governor Yahaya Bello because of some of the footprints I see him doing, he is young, and can connect to the right audience and I’m worried about Bola Ahmed Tinubu because I know the huge political infrastructure he has”.
