In advance of the 2023 elections, according to political analyst Deji Adeyanju, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) are supporting each other.
According to Adeyanju, Kwankwaso thinks Tinubu will succeed him as president if he wins the presidency in 2023.
The activist in Abuja noted that if Tinubu wins in 2023, it will take another Southern and Northern presidential candidate 16 years to control Nigeria.
In a series of tweets, Adeyanju: “If Tinubu becomes president, it will take another presidential aspirant from the South 16yrs to be president and same for a Northern candidate.
“This is one of the reasons Kwankwaso is now supporting Tinubu. He thinks Asiwaju will help him get power in 8yrs time.
“A very important lesson I learnt from this is that be less desperate about power. This is the same reason why Kwankwaso and Obi couldn’t work together when it’s obvious only one person can be president.”
