A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), Ayekooto Akindele has declared that an impending coalition of opposition political parties can only retire President Bola Tinubu in 2031.
He was reacting to remarks by former presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party, Adewale Adebayo, that ex-presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) and Labour Party(LP), Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, are in talks to join the (SDP).
Adebayo said when they join SDP, they would oust Tinubu from power in 2027.
He had said if Atiku, Obi and other prominent politicians willing to join SDP can stick to the party’s culture, they would defeat and retire Tinubu and the APC.
Reacting, Ayekooto said Atiku and Obi would be politically homeless unlike Tinubu, who will retire to Lagos.
Posting on Facebook, Ayekooto wrote: “We will retire Tinubu to Lagos – SDP
“Yes in 2031. But what I love most about this statement is Tinubu and Lagos. When Obi retired as Anambra Governor, he didn’t retire to Anambra, he came to Lagos.
“When Waziri Adamawa retired as VP, he didn’t retire to Adamawa but Abuja. When GEJ retired, he went to Bayelsa.
“When OBJ retired, he went to Ogun, when Buhari retired, he went to Katsina.
“Osinbajo relocated to Ikenne. Obviously, in 2031, Tinubu will go to Lagos. Shame on Obi and Atiku, they’re politically homeless.”
