Cross River governor Ben Ayade says All Progressives Congress (APC) leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is qualified to be president.
“He worked and fought hard for Muhammadu Buhari’s victory, so, if the slot is zoned to the South, Tinubu deserves to contest,” Ayade told BBC Pidgin Service.
“I stand with the party and will support anyone who wins the candidacy of our party.
“If Tinubu is not the one, the APC needs to respect him and dialogue with him. I know he’s a human being too and would follow peace.
“I’ll gladly lead any delegation to plead with him in case the party goes for another presidential candidate in 2023,” Ayade said.
