Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has rejected the endorsement of former Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu for president.
In a statement it released through the Secretary-General of the association, Alhaji Baba Ngelzarma said the group’s endorsement was done individually and not as an association.
“Those who endorsed Tinubu are doing so as individuals, as MACBAN should not in any way be dragged into the politics of endorsement at this stage.”
Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress showed interest in succeeding President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
The APC chief officially informed the president of his ambition earlier this month.
“I have informed the President of my ambition but I have not informed Nigerians yet, I am still consulting. There’s nowhere in the world where a kingmaker cannot himself be king.
“About the cap of a kingmaker. I’ve never seen the cap of a kingmaker before. That is the truth. And I have never seen where it is written in the rulebook anywhere in any country that a kingmaker cannot be a king unless he has committed murder,” he said.
So, whatever you write is your own opinion. Me, I want to pursue my ambition without the title of a kingmaker.”
“You will soon hear. All you want to hear is the categorical declaration. You’ve gotten that truth from me that I have informed Mr President of my ambition, and you don’t expect more answers than that,” he said
