Former Governor of Niger State, Babangida Aliyu, has cautioned All Progressives Congress presidential candidate Bola Tinubu not to squander his money in the 2023 presidential election.

In an interview with Channels TV on Tuesday, Aliyu claimed that the former Lagos State Governor should have backed a younger candidate.

Tinubu, according to Aliyu, should have backed Kayode Fayemi for the APC presidential nomination.

Aliyu said, “Bola Tinubu a good friend, I don’t think he should waste his time now, and I think he should reserve his resources for another thing and I thought that it would have been better for him to have sponsored younger people into this win. He has the governor of Ekiti, Fayemi, he has other young people that he could have sponsored and allowed it happen, no matter what he thought he could do to Nigeria, these people would do it better.”

Aliyu, “His (Tinubu’s) outburst in Abeokuta; I don’t think any person can say in Nigeria of today of 200million people, this is my turn. It is never your turn; even if you want to say, it’s the turn of the people or of your own, let’s even put it that way, then put all that that’s has happened given all the ethnic groups in Nigeria, the North-East, North-Central, South-East has never had a presidency in Nigeria, even if that’s a claim to be made; these are the zones that could make such a claim but for you to think because you have helped somebody to be and therefore it must be your turn, an agreement was not written. There was no evidence that there was an agreement that was written for somebody to say it’s my turn.

“If it’s your turn in the APC that’s your problem but that’s not for Nigerians. Nigerians will come to decide what is best for them given what we have gone through.”
