Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has reacted to the emergence of the former Governor of Lagos state, Bola Tinubu, as the flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress in 2023 election.
In a tweet he shared, Omokri who has been campaigning for former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, said the ruling party fell into their trap and picked Tinubu.
He claimed that Tinubu won’t get Northern votes with a Northern Christian and won’t also survive a Muslim-Muslim ticket.
Omokri tweeted;
Now that the APC fell into our trap and picked Tinubu, we are overjoyed.
“ Tinubu is a flawed candidate. But that is not even the challenge.
“Who will be his vice? A Northern Christian won’t get Northern votes. And he can’t survive a Muslim-Muslim ticket!”
He added, “Because of Kwankwaso’s entry into the Presidential race, Northern votes would be split between HE Atiku and Kwankwaso.
“ It is Southern votes that will determine the 2023 election.
“Those of you who thought I was campaigning for Tinubu did not know the strategy. I am not a fool.
“I could kiss the APC delegates for joy”!
“As far as I see, HE Atiku should start writing his inauguration speech.
“If God spares his life, I don’t see Tinubu stopping him from winning the 2023 election.
I spent time and serious money campaigning for Tinubu, because I knew Osinbajo would be harder to defeat!
