The next election cycle is a wrong time for Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to vie for office, an All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain Abdulmumin Jibrin has stated.
Jibrin claimed that former Lagos State governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, ought to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari because he has more solidity than the vice president.
Jibrin, who is the director-general of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Support Group Management Council, made the comments during an interview with Arise TV. During the show, he refused to state exactly how old Tinubu, 69, is following claims of discrepancies in that regard.
When asked to explain how Tinubu became wealthy enough to be able to order a bullion van of cash on the eve of the 2019 presidential election, Jibrin replied, “What we should focus on is the pedigree of the person, how he achieved his plan in Lagos, the infrastructure. These are what we should look at. The focus now should be the capacity and competence of the candidate.”
“I’m also putting it to you. You have asked your question and I’ll give you a simple and clear answer. And when you continue to repeat the question, you’ll receive the same answer.
“They are all trash from the internet that people keep together and we will not elevate such conversation. When the campaign commences, we will bring out facts and figures before Nigerians.

“I like Osinbajo. Good Vice President and everything. People even said in a modern democracy, the vice president succeeds the president. But unfortunately in all of the parameters that he will use, Asiwaju (Tinubu) is still ahead of him and we want to win the election.
“So, if you say the vice president, Asiwaju is the national leader of the party. So, in a modern democracy as well, it is the national leader that succeeds the president.
“Unfortunately, I will say it is a wrong timing for him (Osinbajo), otherwise, we would have rallied around him.”
