The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu has asked his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) counterpart Atiku Abubakar to step down and endorse him (Tinubu) ahead of February 2023 presidential poll. 

Tinubu asked Atiku to reciprocate the “gesture” he gave to him when he contested for the presidency in 2007 under the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) by dropping his ambition and endorse him.

Tinubu spoke on Monday when he met with leaders from the northern part of the country under the umbrella of Arewa Joint Committee for an interactive session.

The meeting was part of a wider interaction with selected presidential candidates to discuss their plans for the region ahead of the 2023 general elections.


The appearance of the APC presidential candidate came two days after his rival in the PDP engaged in similar interaction with the northern leaders.

The interactive session held at the Arewa House in Kaduna was organised by a coalition of six groups from the North including the Arewa Consultative Forum, Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation,, Northern Elders Forum, Jamar Matan Arewa among others.

Old Baba shaky shaky is asking healthy and vibrant Atiku to step down for him

In a sane country, this should be considered as an act of terrorism.

Both of them should just step down & endorse Obi.

With the game these Northerners are playing if you believe Tinubu will defeat Atiku and Kwankwaso in the north then I guess most of you are just gullible. As it stands Tinubu can only boast of South west.

Lagos votes is hugely divided and same as Oyo/Osun. And South west from inception don't give anyone block vote. I really wonder where Tinubu's votes will come from.

South South and Southeast have never bought anything Tinubu is selling.

It's turn of The southern. The North should sink it in. Meanwhile if Shettima isn't relevant in the North, then a North central should be picked as Vp.

Cos of what use is the Muslim Muslim ticket they requested of Tinubu if they are going to support the killer herdsman Atiku?

Tinubu thought since he supported Buhari, he'll get support back, he doesn't know the north are cunning. The South keeps trying to please the north, at the end they get betrayed and they never learn. Building a united south and middle belt union will defeat the north but they won't use this strategy.
