According to a former All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Bola Tinubu, the party’s presidential candidate, considers every Yoruba to be his slave.
She asserted that the former governor of Lagos State sought to run on a Muslim-Muslim ticket in the expectation that voters from the north would support him in large numbers.
According to the former APC campaign manager, Tinubu plans to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari by receiving every vote from the Southwest and a substantial portion of votes from the North.
According to Naja’atu Mohammed, unlike in the South, where governors decide who gets votes, peasants hold the ace in the North.

She said, “I tried to help these people, including Tinubu because they don’t understand the North. The North is not like the South. If you remember, before 2015, Buhari had only one state in the whole of the 19 northern states. Buhari did not win even in his own state, even though he got his 15 million votes. Even though PDP was in power, he was still getting his 15 million votes”.
“In the North, the peasants hold the ace, they control the votes. In the South, the governors are in charge. They determine who gets the votes. The whole of the South-West did not give Buhari the differential votes that Zamfara State alone gave him”.
“In 2015, we could dislodge a sitting president. We mobilized and succeeded. We guarded the votes and sacrificed our lives, but Tinubu thinks this silly Muslim-Muslim ticket will help him. He thinks that when you say “Muslim” in the North, everybody in the North jumps. It is not like that”.

“All they are depending on is that you pay the elites and the governors to give Tinubu his 25 percent. His calculation is that he will get bloc votes because he believes that all the Yorubas on earth are his slaves. He believes they must obey him no matter what”.
