Yobe State Governor and Caretaker Committee Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Mai Mala Buni has described, as mere rumour, reports of the purported 2023 presidential ticket of a former Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and former Speaker, Yakubu Dogara.
Buni’s statement was in response to question posed to him on if truly Dogara joined the party so that Tinubu and Dogara would contest to have Muslim/Christian ticket.
In an exclusive interview with BBC Hausa on Thursday, he said the APC was not concerned about 2023 Presidency at the moment, stating that it was improper especially at a time when they have a sitting president from the party.
“These are mere rumour and rumour strive in democracy. That’s not even our concern for now. It is not even proper to start talking about 2023 when we have a sitting President,” he said.
“People are surprised when Dogara joined us(APC). That’s how we will continue to spring surprises. In democracy, people talk but 2023 is not even our priority now. We are working towards uniting the party.”
The Yobe Governor however expressed optimism that the ruling party will be victorious in the September governorship election in Edo State.
