Nigerians React As Fayemi, Akpabio, Others Step Down For Tinubu
Nigerians have reacted to the withdrawal of some presidential aspirants of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the presidential primary election.
Naija News earlier reported that seven presidential aspirants stepped down for the former Governor of Lagos State and the APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
Some of the presidential hopefuls who stepped down for Tinubu are Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State, Governor Badaru Abubakar of Jigawa State and former Governor of Ogun State, Ibikunle Amosun.
Others are Barrister Uju Ohanenye, the former speaker of the House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole, the lawmaker representing Ondo North senatorial district, Ajayi Boroffice, and immediate past Minister of Niger Delta, Godswill Akpabio.
Following the development, some Nigerians took to social media to express their views regarding the withdrawal of the hopefuls and the APC presidential primaries.
See some of the reactions.
I’ve my political sentiments and I don’t like Tinubu but I respect him a lot. I’m however a big fan of loyalties and I don’t want him to be paid with betrayal.
He made these boys who they are, so if he feels oun lokan! Then oun lokan. For Fayemi to step down, Osinbajo is next!

LOOOOOOOL— Akin Akinwale (@mrlurvy) June 7, 2022
Most of the aspirants kept lying through their rotten teeth that the Buhari administration was good, but didn’t step down for his Vice President, or urge the delegate to vote him so as to continue the legacy.
Frauds!!!

I can see a script playing out. Let people contest and then let them publicly step down for you at the key moment. Such psychological play.
Politics is politics mehn!
