The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, AYCF National President, Yerima Shettima, has dismissed claims by Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State about the North backing the 2023 Presidential ambition of former Lagos state governor, Bola Tinubu.

Shettima said Ganduje was not speaking for the entire North when he backed the All Progressives Congress, APC, National Leader Presidential ambition.

Daily Report Ng had earlier reported that Ganduje said the entire North would back the Presidential ambition of Tinubu.

However, the AYCF leader, while speaking with DAILY POST, said  Ganduje can’t speak for the entire region.

He accused Ganduje of pushing for his selfish interests.

According to Shettima: “Ganduje is entitled to his opinion, and probably he is just waking up from his dream. This is an expensive joke, and he knows it’s not true.

“Most of these guys believe that they can wake up and continue doing the same old things as regards politics; they believe that it’s what it was in the past.

“We know what happened and how he survived being a governor of Kano apart from the advantage of the incumbency from the ruling party that came together to work and ensure that they find a soft landing for him to get to where he is.

“So for this, he cannot be said to be speaking for the North. Lagos is different from the North. I wouldn’t blame him because most of them know that they are going into compulsory retirement in politics, so they can go to any length to say something that would ensure they remain to remain politically relevant.

“But you and I know that what he said is not true. We know how he managed the situation during Asiwaju’s birthday in Kano; we know what happened at the State House.

“Anybody can say anything today, but we all know it’s all about their personal interest, it’s not about talking the election is around the corner. Let them prove to Nigerians how popular they are among their constituencies.”
