THE former Minister of Works and Housing, Dayo Adeyeye, declared on Tuesday that the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, remains the best candidate to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari, because of his experience and political networks.
Adeyeye, who disclosed this during the official launching of the South-West Agenda (SWAGA) 2023, a political platform championing the ex-Lagos State governor’s 2023 aspiration, said nothing would stop the South-West from clinching the APC ticket if is zoned to the Southern part of the country.
The APC chieftain urged the party leaders to honour the zoning agreement reached by members in 2013.
Adeyeye said: “If the ticket comes to the South, the fact that the South-West had produced the President before won’t prevent the Yoruba race from getting the APC ticket.
“You could all remember that the late President Umaru Yar’Adua was from Katsina State and when the ticket went back to the North in 2015, they picked President Muhammadu Buhari from Katsina. They didn’t say his state has produced the President before”.
