2023 Presidency: Rejecting Tinubu Is Blasphemy, Yuguda Says

Former governor of Bauchi State, Isa Yuguda, has said it will be considered a blasphemy for Nigerians to reject the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Yuguda who spoke during a symposium on ‘renewed hope 2023’, organised by the APC Professionals Forum at the Yar’adua Centre in Abuja said Tinubu is a special gift from God and he should succeed Buhari because he is patriotic and an anti-corruption crusader.

The former governor said, “Nobody can doubt the progress in Lagos and we can see the leadership qualities in him to lead people from all parts of the world.

“Tinubu is very patriotic and that is who we need today as a leader. He is an anti-corruption crusader. We know it and everybody knows it. If there were corruption in Lagos, that state would not be where it is today.

“It would be to, should I say, blasphemy to turn against him. At least, he is there for you. Tinubu is very patriotic and that is who we need today as a leader.

“Anywhere there is corruption, there can’t be progress; there can’t be economic progress that we can see. In society, we can’t say there is no corruption but, at least, it has been brought down to the barest minimum.”
