A former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili has declared that money will fail politicians during the 2023 general elections.
Ezekwesili tweeted this in reaction to the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress and former Lagos Governor, Bola Tinubu informing President Muhamamdu Buhari of his intention to run for office of the president in 2023.
Tinubu had during a visit to the Aso Villa on Monday informed Buhari of his intention to contest for the presidency in 2023.
Reacting, Ezekwesili said “I watched one of those so-called “public analysts” boast that “ Bola Tinubu has consulted the President. It is a given that Bola Tinubu will be the next President of Nigeria.
“In a democracy oh, it is not your fault. Money will fail in the 2023 elections, mark my words.
2023: Why Tinubu is not a corrupt politician, Jibrin explains
“It is citizens that have the power to collectively tell the likes of Mr Bola Tinubu that the season of the lowest common denominator of political leaders doing “turn-by-turn” incompetent governance of Nigeria is over.
“The question is, ‘are citizens ready to collectively do so?’ A country like Nigeria cannot keep digging deeper into the labyrinth of failure because of a low degree of public leadership.
“The 21st Century is racing fast to an end. Just look at where our continent lies prostrate at the feet of bad governance.”
