A constitutional lawyer, Dr Kayode Ajulo has urged President Ibrahim Babagida to counsel All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential hopeful, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to shelve his ambition.
Ajulo said IBB should specifically indicate to Tinubu to step down his ambition for Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.
Ajulo, a former National Secretary of Labour Party, gave this advice while reacting to news of Tinubu’s visit to Babangida in Minna on Thursday afternoon.
According to Ajulo: “It would be recalled that President Babangida in 2007 after signifying his interest in running for the office of the President withdrew the bid for President Umoru Yar’adua on the grounds that Yar’adua was his younger brother.
“Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the political leader of Prof. Osinbajo. In fact, he was a major influence on how the VP got his present position and I am sure he’s proud of his numerous achievements.
“Asiwaju will do well to throw his weight behind the VP to become the next President.”
