2023: Nigeria Needs Institutions, Not Rallying Round Personalities Like Tinubu – All Progressives Congress Lawmaker

Peller said the criteria should be set, leaving whoever meets the criteria to occupy the office.

BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORK OCT 09, 2021

A federal lawmaker from Oyo State, Shina Peller, has stated that the next president of Nigeria should not be chosen based on personality, cult or subjective feelings.

Reacting to a question on whether a former Lagos governor, Bola Tinubu, should be president of Nigeria in 2023, Peller said the president’s office should be based on strong institutions rather than individuals.


According to Peoples Gazette, Peller said the criteria should be set, leaving whoever meets the criteria to occupy the office.

“We need to build an institution now, we do not need to take any single person and be saying we want to now rally around that person. I think let us form an institution, let us identify a criteria and let us see who meets up with the criteria.

“There is no institution that has set up the criteria yet, if the criteria says the next president should be christian, is Asiwaju a christian?,” Peller said.

Peller, like Tinubu, is a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress.

The House of Representatives member further stated that relying on personalities to save Nigeria was a mistake, and that the next president should be elected through institutions capable of ensuring the competency of the individuals.

“We have made the mistake two times. There was a time in Nigeria when President Obasanjo was brought from prison and everybody was saying he is the best person that could do this and we started to run around him. The Same thing happened to President Buhari, everybody was saying Mohammadu Buhari is a saint, he is not corrupt and then everyone starts to run around him, I believe this must stop,” Peller said.

This is what I always say.... Tinubu doesn't need your rallying around....


Bring out your candidate for one on one CV review, if you can match Tinubu in any sector

Lets see career, private sector contribution, struggle for democracy, protegee, governance

Put your best to debate Jagaban

.

Seems this one is looking for clout. All talk but no solutions or alternatives...that's how you know them. Shina peller failed to give us an alternative to tinubu neither did he bring solutions. I don't expect much from a bar man voted into house of reps. Probably a personal attack cus of Lagos taxes on his bar/club business in Lagos.

Everything is self interest for these people.

Yahoo boy turn senator

Only in Nigeria.

Funny he is also now trying to feel legit and responsible

The office of the president should truly be tightly institutionalised that nobody should think it can be taken up like a walk in a park.

Like Trump did in America.

Strong institutions we need.

...oh wait.

Another bunkum from Sahara deserted, Peller is so smart than to make such reckless statement

Commentor:

...oh wait.

Sir, you are wasting your time with most of these deluded low IQ individuals. How would strong institution suddenly emerge from in a country where many civil servants abuse their privilege? It is strong men that create strong institutions which will require people of strong virtue to sustain.

Are they serious with the socalled Tinubu presidency? Is that thing not some silly joke?

What if I told you Tinubuoy is an institution himself?

If he can produce a continuous government in Lagos, a system that threw up a Vice President! What else are we looking for.

Please, vote for him when it's time for election.

Tinubu urchins are pure jokers

Even the marketing strategy is weak

Tinubu is a Yoruba thing .. that no one is buying except Yoruba urchins

It’s great he has decided to openly contest..

Now no Yoruba man will ask if Tinubu ever said he’s interesting in Presidency.

We have seen and heard his arrangement



Tinubu must contest... no more excuses


The journey of Yoruba tribe into political wilderness is about to begin.


How about our southern governors and the southern unity.. please wen and where is the next meeting.

Yoruba people think East and South are buying their unity scam..

Worst is that they stay in Ibadan and Lagos and believe the North has swallowed the scam..

But we no go tell them .. 2023 will explain more

They can make jest.. but Na here e stop

Can any Yoruba man in Kano sell Tinubu candidate for Kano streets?

Or maybe ask next Hausa man about Tinubu President Na joke.

Ignorance is the bane of Yoruba propaganda... they always think Nigerians are dummies.
