2023: El-Rufai Wants Vice Presidential Slot -Bamgbose

National coordinator, Concerned Advocates for Good Governance, CAGG, Olusegun Bamgbose, Esq.,has said that Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State is positioning himself to run in 2023 presidential election as Vice President.
According to Bamgbose, El-Rufai may be gearing up to run with either Bola Tinubu or the Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi come 2023.
Appearing on BBC Hausa at the weekend, El-Rufai had said that the South should produce the next president of Nigeria.
According to him, he will not support a Northerner to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
The governor also denied he has ambition to contest for presidency in three years.
“In Nigerian politics, there is a system of rotation, in which everyone agrees that if the north rules for eight years, the south will rule for eight years.
“That is why I came out and said that after President Buhari has been in office for eight years, no northerner should run for office. Let the Southerners also have eight years,” El-Rufai said.
And reacting to this in a chat with Bamgbose, who had earlier declared interest to run for the presidency said, “the recent statement credited to Governor El-Rufai of Kaduna State, BBC Hausa service, that come 2023, a southerner should emerge as a president, is a very welcome development.
“It should be recalled, that he had earlier this year, made a similar statement to this effect. We commend him for his altruistic and detribalistic tendency.
“This has shown clearly and convincingly, that he is a man that should be reckoned with in the scheme of things. He is indeed a noble man.
“History and posterity will remember him for good. He is truly a man of equity and justice.
