Apologising is the honourable thing to do
According to the APC members, who formed a forum to pursue the emergence of a president from the north-central, people have been making reference to the comment ever since Tinubu declared his intention to run for president.
Zazzaga also said that since the interview has resurfaced as a result of the APC national leader's declaration, people have begun to raise eyebrows, asking damaging questions.
He explained that even though Tinubu made the comment years back, the most honourable thing for him is come out and apologise to Nigerians.
The forum went on to explain that such an apology will not only project Tinubu as a true leader of the party but also as a man of honour and someone who takes responsibility for his words.
Tinubu's comments that may backfire
Recall after making public his intention to join the presidential race in 2023, Tinubu made some critical remarks that are capable of opening a can of worms for him and ultimately affect his ambition to attain the presidency.
Most of the comments the APC national leader made were on pressing national issues that Nigerians are eagerly waiting to be addressed and dealt with.
