National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has said that talks about zoning for the 2023 presidency were unripe.
He said this Tuesday in a chat with State House correspondents shortly after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in the Aso Rock Villa on Tuesday.
According to Tinubu, who has been tipped for the presidency, talks about Buhari’s successor in 2023 were capable of distracting the administration.
Tinubu said, “We cannot use 365 days in a year and 360° to work on politics, it’s not possible. Anybody talking about zoning now is just completely restless and not focused on the agenda of nation-building and development of our country.
“That time is not now. We have just finished one election and Mr. President is busy sorting out the Budget, working for the people of this country.
“Of course, restlessness of politics is going to be there, but any lover of this country will not talk about the succession plan yet. That’s the truth. Concentrate on working for the country, help the President to help the country. There’s nothing more than that.”
