Junaid’s comment, ‘We (North) prefer Tinubu to be president than Igbo man,’ receives knock from Fani Kayode

A former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has frowned at the comment by a northern leader and a Second Republic lawmaker, Junaid Mohammed on the South-East part of the country clamour for 2023 presidency.

Mohammed was said to have in one of his media interviews said that the North would rather prefer the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, to become Nigerian President in 2023 than allow a person from the South-East to occupy the position.

The northern elder was quoted to have said, “We (North) prefer Tinubu to be president than Igbo man.”

But in a post on his official Twitter handle, @realFFK, Fani-Kayode said, “Who are you? Are you God? Or were you there the day the Ancient of Days lay the foundations of the earth and established the universe?

“Nothing lasts forever: not even northern tyranny, arrogance and occupation.”
