According to Naja’atu Mohammed, some northerners are urging on All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Bola Tinubu because they want his running mate Kashim Shettima to replace him as President.
Mohammed who is a former campaign director of the APC made the disclosure in a recent interview with This Day newspaper after parting ways with the party days ago.
In her latest jab against Tinubu’s camp, the Kano-born politician disclosed that some supporters of northern extraction, who seems to be ignoring the APC flag bearer’s obvious health frailties are in fact banking on his eventual incapacitation so that Shettima could assume office as constitutionally stipulated.

She said:
“They just want to push him for them to be the president. It’s not even in his interest.
“Some people from Maiduguri called me today (Monday) asking, ‘Hajia, why did you do this? You have now punctured our interest. Our son is going to be president, and you’re talking like that? After all, look at Tinubu; he cannot do it. We’re all for Kashim. You have not done well for us.”
She further clarified that Tinubu’s health was in an embarrassing state which was grossly unfit for public office.
She said:
“I sat with him for two hours in London; when you talk of green, he will give you an answer of red. He can’t even decipher. He has very serious dementia; I believe he has Alzheimer’s because he cannot even hold a cup of tea.”
Speaking on why she left the party, Mohammed said she could not serve the country’s interest in clear conscience if she continued to support the former Lagos governor.
