Former Chairman, Lagos State chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Henry Ajomale, has said that no group can stop the presidential ambition of the National Leader of the ruling party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

He made the declaration in an interview with Saturday Sun published this morning.

Asked to react to the declaration by the National President, Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Alhaji Abdullahi Bodejo, that Tinubu will not be President of Nigeria in 2023, Ajomale exploded, saying: “Who is Bodejo? Is Bodejo God that he should be making that kind of declaration? Only God knows tomorrow. Bodejo is going too far by trying to play God. What Bodejo should realise is that if God has destined it that Tinubu will be President of Nigeria in 2023, one million Bodejos of this world can’t stop it. Who even knows what will happen between now and 2023; it is only God. Bodejo’s statement is not only reckless but also very unfortunate.”

Ajomale further said: “Why is Bodejo so obsessed with Tinubu? Why is he talking about the man like that? I believe Bodejo perhaps has a hidden agenda against Tinubu, if not, he would not have become or speaking so bitterly about Tinubu.

“But like I said earlier, Bodejo is not God, and he can’t act God. What Bodejo should realise is that it is Tinubu’s constitutional right to aspire for any political office in the country including the Presidency. It is now left for Bodejo to vote or not to vote for him. Bodejo has only one vote. It is Nigerians that will determine Tinubu’s fate if he has such an agenda.”

The APC chieftain advised that “rather than worrying himself and having sleepless nights over Tinubu, Bodejo’s headache should be how to stop the senseless killings of innocent Nigerians by herdsmen. Bodejo should first put his own house in order before he starts dabbling into other people’s affairs. I expect Bodejo as the national president of Miyetti Allah to be sober and apologetic to Nigerians for the havoc being wreaked by the herdsmen instead of talking on politics, and attacking individuals.

“I implore Nigerians to ignore Bodejo and his rantings on Tinubu. Tinubu will not be distracted by his vituperations as Tinubu is focused and determined to continue giving his support to President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.”
