“I will fight like a lion to make Tinubu president”

An APC governorship aspirant in Kano has vowed to work his tail off foe Bola Tinubu if eventually power shifts to the south.

“I will fight like a lion to ensure that Bola Ahmad Tunubu Becomes President if power is agreed on principles to be shifted to the south, best on my belief that Tunubu deserves the exalted seat more than any other person,” A.A. Zaura told newsmen on Tuesday.

He was responding to questions that the APC national leader is behind his guber ambition.

Zaura said those saying that don’t understand his relationship with Tinubu.

“People are insinuating that Bola Tinubu is behind my candidature, and continue to dig to know my relationship with him, forgetting that my relationship with him is beyond party politics because he is just like a father to me,” he said.

According to him, in the 2019 general elections, Tinubu was in APC and I was in GNP and both sat together to discuss issues of national importance.

“If I’m as desperate as being asserted by those who don’t know me, in 2015 Kwankwaso wanted me to join PDP so that he will make me governor but I said no.

“I was not interested. My interest is to play politics without any link to anybody, that is selfless Politics and that was why I was in GNP.”

The north and its governor have insisted rotational presidency is not in the constitution.

But the south where Tinubu is a force insist power must shift.
