The former Minister, who recently dumped the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, said he was going to support the former Lagos Governor to emerge President in 2023.
Ogunlewe, who had never been on the same page with Tinubu politically, made the sudden U-turn, adding that nothing in life is static.
“I have been reading and watching a lot of comments about it. I believe 2023 should be thrown open,” he told Sun.
“Nobody should be shut out. There is nothing wrong about Southwest showing interest. We are talking about democracy.
To shut out some people or group is undemocratic. Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu wants to contest, let him contest.
What is the noise about Tinubu all about? Is Tinubu not qualified to contest? I will support Tinubu if he wants to contest.
Tinubu has paid his dues. If Tinubu wants to contest, let him contest, and let Nigerians decide his fate.
“Tinubu is a dogged fighter. He has triumphed over many challenges. He has seen it all. He can do it if given the chance.
Nothing in life is static. Tinubu is from the Southwest, and anything for the progress of Southwest, I’m for it.
If the 2023 project is for Southwest interests, then I’m now on the same page with Tinubu, and I have no apology for it.”

No please enough of this people.
ReplyDeleteThis tinubu is a very smart man.
ReplyDeleteHe knew what he wanted in a very long time, but he was just patient for the right time.
He could have challenge buhari for the presidential ticket but he kept is cool and was waiting for the right time.... I know all this talk of him for 2023 presidency is him making some underground job, so when the time comes out and get the ticket no one we go against him....
U get, tinubu is an astute politician.
DeleteUntil then.....
DeleteSmh.
ReplyDeleteChai, this people should have the fear of God nau. Why all this recycled people?...Then tinubu will now rule from 2023-2031(8 years)...These people don't care about Nigerians, the way this politics game is going they will finally destroy this country.
ReplyDeleteThe unemployment rate is at the highest.
Poverty in the land
The Educational system is wanting
No security
No healthcare programs for the citizens
Cuppy talked about water scarcity and people attacked her saying water is not the problem of the citizens.Ignorance is bad, a survey conducted by UNICEF-on world's water day (March 22)- shows that 69 millions Nigerians lack access to clean and safe drinking water, and this problem leads to the deaths of over 70,000 children annually from water-borne diseases.
When will we get it right?- many of us are just Surviving and not actually Living.
This people want to rubbish Nigeria ...please we owe it to our children and theirs to STAND UP AND FIGHT. Our democracy is dying.We need to start holding this people accountable.
mtcheew dreamer😏😏
ReplyDeleteWhere Teejay? Make i go find am.
ReplyDeleteFor the fact that I love Bola Tinubu, that statement shouldn't be coming from Chief ogunlewe. He's not in the right place to say that.
ReplyDeleteHe's a snitch, coward and hypocrite. He just dumped pdp and atiku few weeks ago.
Hmmm so you can be this objective?
DeleteSeems you have lost your mind if you think I'm in your category @ castle Windsor.
DeleteYou are a goat. As in the type that bleats uncontrollably.
DeleteDon, wetin Castle don do you? Na wa ooo
DeleteI laugh in ukani. Tinubu for president? C'est be pas possible. Ogunlewe should wake up from his slumber... Ko le work rara
ReplyDeleteI know this isn't God's plan for his people.
ReplyDeleteHian, they have started!
ReplyDeleteDont even bother yourselves....the north I know will not vote for him, neither will the east or south south....the best he can do is support another Hausa man or loose woefully to the Hausa man PDP will give their ticket to....the north is only tolerating him because of the support he gives Buhari....Tinubu's ticket won't sell.
ReplyDeleteWhich way Nigeria!!!
