Babagana Kingibe, a former secretary to the government of the federation, has told Bola Tinubu, Bola Tinubu presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), that he is the next president of Nigeria.
Speaking in a meeting with Tinubu at the weekend, Kingibe said the former Lagos governor will be Nigeria’s next president because of his sacrifices.
“Eyin lo kan, (you’re the next), he said in Yoruba.
“You will move from Jagaban of Borgu to Jagaban of Nigeria; from Asiwaju of Lagos to Asiwaju of Nigeria. For all your sacrifices, for all your effort, God will reward you this time.”
Kingibe was the running mate of MKO Abiola in the 1993 presidential election, but later worked under the military government of Sani Abacha after the June 12 presidential election was annulled.
