“I Have Known Tinubu For Over 50 Years, But I Cannot Support Him”, Ex-Minister Reveals Why Atiku Is His Choice

Ebenezer Babatope, a former minister of transportation, has said he would not be supporting the APC presidential candidate because they belonged to different political parties.

The ex-Minister noted that though he had known the former Lagos state governor for over 50 years, he belonged to the APC while he is a PDP member
Babatope also dismissed the question of voting for the APC candidate on the ground that they're both from the Yoruba race, noting that such question do not hold water.

Former minister of transportation Ebenezer Babatope has said he would not be supporting the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, in the 2023 elections.

Babatope, while speaking in an interview on Monday, September 5, said despite being a Yoruba man with Tinubu, they are not in the same party, Daily Independent reported.

Ex-minister of transportation, Ebenezer Babatope, reveals why he would not support Tinubu.

Why Babatope is not supporting Tinubu
The former minister maintained that he and Tinubu had been together for over 50 years now, but the fact that they belong to different parties would not make him support the former Lagos state governor.

He dismissed the question of voting for Tinubu because they are of the same race. The ex-minister maintained that such does not hold water.

He stated that he is a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) member, and his candidate is Atiku Abubakar, which he believed would win the election next year.

Babatope dismisses question about supporting Tinubu because of tribe
“We belong to different political parties, even though we are both Yorubas. I have known Tinubu for over 50 years but I cannot support him because we belong to different political parties.

"He belongs to the APC, and I am of the PDP.
"There is no question of Yoruba race here. I am a member of the PDP and our candidate, Atiku Abubakar will win by the grace of God”

Obi is an amateur, I’ll beat him in any election too. Check out the people that are supporting him, you’ll realise they have scores to settle with bitterness

Your so called big daddy Tinubu was in Edo and Osun states during the campaign up till the eve of election day still his presence didn't change or influence anything

He tried to smuggle himself out of Osun state shamefully but eagle eyes spotted him running away after being disgraced in Osun state Governorship election

Tinubu biggest disgrace will be in 2023 presidential election ..
Wait for it
