Constitutional Lawyer, Tunji Abayomi has observed that Nigeria desires someone that has no link with President Mohamadu Buhari’s administration as President in 2023.
Apparently reacting to the decision of the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, to join the Presidential race, Abayomi maintained that “Nigeria at present is in dire need of a new leadership away from the Present Buhari’s administration in order to inject new blood into country’s nascent democracy.”
According to him, “it would greatly make sense for a new man, a man independent of the current system of Government to take up the task of governing Nigeria.”
In a statement on his Facebook page, Abayomi, stressed that with a new man at the helm of affairs away from the present Government, Nigeria is poised to witness a new dawn of hope and prosperity in every sphere of human interest.
“With the present situation in the country, I think we need something different, something clearly unconnected to the present order.
“Fine, President Buhari and Vice President Osinbajo have tried as much as they have ability to do. The consequences are apparent in the current state of Nigerian State.
“The judgment of their effort at governing Nigeria is the condition of the people, as well as that of Nigeria. A train has just been blown up and respected citizens are still with what the current government calls bandits.
“It just stands to commonsense that extending the tenure of the present government will bring no more than the maximum that the last seven years have given us.”
Incidentally, most those who have declared interest under the banner of the APC – Tinubu, Osinbajo, Amaechi, Yahaya Bello, Dave Umahi – all have links to Buhari and his Government.
