Adds: ‘Tinubu is not fit for president’
A chieftain of the Labour Party, Professor Patrick Utomi, has stated that the All Progressives Congress, APC, made a mistake by dumping Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and fielding an ‘ailing person’ to be the flag-bearer of the party come the 2023 presidential election.
Utomi stated this while appearing on Channels TV’s Politics Today, monitored by Quest Times on Monday.
According to him, Osinbajo should have been better for APC and not Bola Tinubu who he considers as being “weak” and “unfit” for president.

“Tinubu is not fit, physically you can see he is ailing, you can see it, let’s be true to ourselves, let him go through a medical that will be made public in Nigeria,” he said.
However, when asked to speak on the support of Afenifere for the Obi/Datti ticket, Prof Utomi said he wasn’t surprised when the association announced its support for Obi/Datti, noting that Afenifere was built on moral principles, equity, fairness, and inclusiveness.
He stated that Afenifere has moral authority and has an alliance with PADEF, Middle Belt groups, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, and has all it takes to make Obi/Datti win the forthcoming election.
