“It has become clearer that Tinubu will be president. When Tinubu becomes president, everybody will chop; it’s not like this one that only one man is chopping.”

“We were the ones that made Buhari president; we will make Tinubu president.”

On his part, Senator Wilson Ake said one thing the national leader of APC has going for him over his contenders for the priced APC presidential ticket is competence.

“When Tinubu was working for APC, nobody talked about his age. Now they are saying he is old. When you say ‘age-age-age’, you are not serious. Competence should not be traded for age. The young local government chairmen that we have, are they doing anything spectacular?”
