Tinubu will be a good President if elected in 2023, says Lawal

Former secretary to the government of the federation, Babachir Lawal, has said that the national leader of the All Progressives Congress APC, Bola Tinubu, "will make a good modern president because the presidency these days is scientific."

Lawal stated this while speaking with reporters in Yola, Adamawa state.



While expressing his support for power shift to the south in 2023, Lawal said Tinubu has been his best friend for many years and he believe that he is fit to be the next president of Nigeria.

There are reports that Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos state, is eyeing the number one position in the country but the top politician is yet to speak about it publicly.




He said, “Bola Tinubu is my friend of many years. Buhari is my big boss. Bola Tinubu without prejudice that he’s my friend, will make a good president.

“Other issues notwithstanding, he (Tinubu) will make a good modern president because the presidency these days is scientific. Nigerians, by convention, seem to have agreed that there should be rotation of the presidency.”

Asked to comment on the notion that the north had been preventing an Igbo person from becoming the president, Lawal said: “But they (south-easterners) have not been working together to actualise an Igbo presidency.”
