According to Independent Nigeria, APC chieftain Jesutega Onokpasa has made startling revelations about certain presidential appointees allegedly scheming to succeed President Bola Tinubu before the end of his tenure. Onokpasa accused these individuals of harboring selfish ambitions and expressed concern that they are eagerly awaiting Tinubu's departure before 2027 for their personal gain.
In a candid statement, Onokpasa praised Yahaya Bello for his contributions to Tinubu's electoral success and vehemently defended his loyalty to the APC leader. He dismissed critics and asserted his right to support individuals who aided Tinubu's political endeavors, emphasizing his unwavering allegiance to the party's cause.
Onokpasa's remarks shed light on internal power struggles within the APC and raise questions about the future leadership of the party. His accusations underscore the complexities of political alliances and ambitions within the ruling party, hinting at potential rifts that could shape its trajectory in the coming years.
He said: “I am very proud of Yahaya Bello; Yahaya Bello helped Asiwaju to win election. Anybody who helped Asiwaju to win election is my brother. He is my father’s son that my mother gave birth to. I don’t owe you any apology, who are you? Nonsense! Will you turn all of us to cowards?
