As the race for the Presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in 2023, gradually takes the centre stage, the Director General of the Voice of Nigeria, Osita Okechukwu, has given an inkling into who his favourite is.

Okechukwu, a founding member of the party is from the South-east, a zone which people are anxious that one of their own, for once, becomes the President  Nigeria.

But Okechukwu’s favourite person is Asiwaju Bola Tinubu,  a Leader of the Party, and a two-time Governor of Lagos State.

Reacting to the disclosure by the National Secretary of the APC National Caretaker Executive Committee, Dr John Akpanudedehe that the APC would pick a consensus candidate to fly its Presidential ticket in 2023, Okechukwu said that  he had a good sleep over it on the night of the disclosure. He said the move to pick a consensus APC flag bearer after the Congresses was brilliant. For that, Okechukwu enthused that Bola Tinubu, according to his calculation, would be in a pole position to pick the ticket.

Okechukwu: “One slept well last night after reading the profound statement from the social media credited to

Distinguished Senator John Akpunudedehe, our National Secretary, that at the appropriate time, APC will come up with a consensus and agreeable candidate that will fly its flag in 2023.

“In my imagination, one doesn’t think that any Committee handling such  delicate matters will miss out on our National  leader, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu in the matrix.

“Methinks he will be among the top aspirants to be considered, given his immense contribution to the success of our great party in 2015.”

Even though Tinubu has not, publicly, declared his interest in the 2023 Presidential race, it is taken for granted that he would. His associates, especially, in the South-west, have been on an overdrive, campaigning for him.

Recently, the foundation Chairman for President Buhari’s first party, CPC, declared that Buhari had promised in 2015, on the formation of the APC, that he would hand over power to Tinubu at the end of his tenure as President.

However, not a few people think that the consensus idea is a smooth way of pulling the rug from under Tinubu’s feet, an alleged plan they attribute to the powers-that-be in the Presidency.
