The former Lagos state governor and the Leader of All Progressive Congress APC , Asiwaju Bola Tinubu was reacting to the position of the governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha, who said there is no better man for the Presidency than President Muhammadu Buhari.
Okorocha made the position while addressing leaders of the ‘Democratic Youths Congress for Buhari 2019,” who were on a courtesy visit to him at the Government House, Owerri on Tuesday.
Tinubu who spoke in Akure during a visit to the leader of the Pan Yoruba Socio-political group, Afenifere, Pa. Reuben Fasoranti, said due process will be followed in determining who will be the Presidential candidate of the party in 2019.
Other notable leaders on the visit included former interim Chairman of the APC, Chief Bisi Akande, South West Chairman of the party, Chief Pius Akinyelure among others.
They were received by Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, his deputy, Agboola Ajayi and the acting Chairman of the party in the state, Engr. Ade Adetimehin.
He said only the National Executive Council (NEC) of the party can meet and decide to have a concensus candidate.
“No governor can appropriate the power of endorsement to themselves. Buhari is a believer in process, the Buhari I know believes in rule of law.
“We wanted him even before the last convention and primaries of the party and Akeredolu is here standing with me, he was not the governor then. He was one of the leading delegates that voted properly and Buhari was a clear winner.
