A former Peoples Democratic Party, PDP governorship candidate in Ogun State, Segun Sowunmi, says he has told President Bola Tinubu to start planning for succession.
Sowunmi met with Tinubu at his Lagos residence on Monday.
Speaking in an interview on Arise News, Tuesday evening, he lambasted those criticising and questioning his visit to the President.
Sowunmi also maintained that he never discussed appointments, nor was he offered any by President Tinubu.
“I did not discuss the possibility of any appointment with president Tinubu, he did not offer me any appointment,” he said.
“That’s not the kind of conversation I should be having with [the President]. The type of conversation between me and the President before he was president and now that he is president…the type of conversation…, okay for instance I said to him, ‘if I conceive this thing you’re doing is hard work and I know it’s hard work, are you not going to start planning succession?
“Won’t you plan succession? Won’t this country think on how to move to younger people.”
Speaking further, the former spokesperson to ex-Vice President, Atiku Abubakar said “My political course is not just opposition. I’ve been down loyal to the PDP. Nobody should have any idea that I’ve been part of any other people doing opposition for opposition’s sake, I’m not part of such.
“I wonder where we took an oath that I have to take permission from them before leaving the party.
“I greeted the President, took a picture and they’re going gaga. I’m not going to fall for that cheap madness.”
