Media practitioner-turned politician, Babafemi Ojudu, has vowed to never support Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s presidential bid if President Muhammadu Buhari declares for him.
Ojudu is Buhari’s Adviser on Political Matters and was formerly close to Tinubu.
He had, however, declared interest in the yet-to-be-declared aspiration of the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo.
He initially said Tinubu was not fit to be president.
Again in an interview with Chude Jidonwo, he said he would rather return to farm than support Tinubu.
He said, “Never. Take that from me, write it down today, I will go back to the farm. If I don’t believe in you I will not work for/with you.
“We are still waiting for Osinbajo to come and tell us if he is running. I personally will want him to do so, but he has not come out, so we will wait, and there is still time.
“If I support Osinbajo, he deserves to be supported… I see the way he works, day and night, committed, not asking for things for himself, committed to the people, committed to Nigeria and well educated.
“He can stand his anywhere in the world, comfortable with the young and the old, conformable with new technology and always coming out with solutions to problems. I mean, it doesn’t cost me anything to align with such a person.
“What am I looking for in life? I’m looking for a better society, a society where everybody can realise themselves. I’m looking for a society where some people will not pile all of a country’s resources into their accounts.
“So, if I see somebody who has all of those attributes, I have the right to support that kind of person, so if Osinbajo declares tomorrow that he is running, I will have no apology I will support him, and I will work for him.”
