I’ll retire from politics if Buhari endorses Tinubu as successor – Presidential aide

Special adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on political matters Babafemi Ojudu, has said he would retire from politics and go into farming full time should his boss choose Bola Tinubu as his successor.

He made this known during a TV programme anchored by Chude Jideonwo and also monitored by TheNewsGuru.

Asked whether he would fall in line if President Buhari endorses Tinubu as his candidate, Ojudu said he would never.

He posited that he can never support or work with someone he does not believe in.

”Never! I’ll never support it. Write it down I’ll go back to the farm.

“If I don’t believe in you, I’ll not work with you or for you.”

Meanwhile, Ojudu had earlier clarified that he would not support Tinubu’s presidential ambition due to his “principled political choices’, not betrayal.

Recall that Ojudu put up a post indicating interest in supporting VP Osinbajo, if the Vice President decides to show interest in the presidency.
