An interest group known as ‘The Vanguard’ has expressed its displeasure over a statement credited to the National President of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum , Mr. Yerima Shettima, on the rotation of presidency in Nigeria.
According to the PRO, when Shettima was asked “if the decision of the Northern political elites to retain power in the North come 2023, would not cause a rift between President Buhari and Bola Tinubu as a lot of Nigerians believe Tinubu would be considered the next president”, Shettima responded that “Asiwaju is even the last person or option the North would consider”.
“Yerima Shettima is biting the finger that fed him; he grew up here in Oshodi of Lagos; beside we are not in the same political party nor share same political ideology, he should keep quiet over this matter. “Where was he when APC was coming together? We therefore say NO to his statement and disregard it as null and void and we make bold to say that we stand for Asiwaju Tinubu come 2023”.
Why should this group mind what this useless Yarima said? What relevance Yarima has in the North? Who knows him in the North?
