Former media aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, has said that Bola Tinubu, a presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has no moral justification to complain if President Muhammadu Buhari
picks his successor ahead of the primary election of the party.
Omokri said though “it’s treason for Buhari to singlehandedly pick his successor,” Tinubu had no moral ground to complain.
He, therefore urged Buhari to allow Nigerians decide who succeeds him .
The bestselling author, in a series of tweets, wrote: “It is wrong for Buhari to singlehandedly pick the presidential candidate of the APC.
“But Tinubu has no moral grounds to complain about that. However, it is treasonable for Buhari to say he will pick his successor. Nigerians will pick his successor.
“If Buhari’s threat to produce his successor is predicated on repeating (what happened) 2019, my response to him is to repeat what he said on May 15, 2012: ‘They either conduct a free and fair election or they go a very disgraceful way’.”
A few days ago, President Buhari, during a meeting with the governors at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, had urged APC governors to allow him pick his successor.
Buhari said he should be allowed to decide his successor because State governors were given the opportunity to pick their successors.
However, Mr. President’s choice has not been made public, except the clues he gave of the person that will succeed him.
