Ahead of the 2023 Presidential Election, permutations by ‘the cabal’ around President Muhammadu Buhari are pushing for the Babagana Kingibe candidacy against that of Bola Tinubu, popular columnist, Farooq Kperogi has disclosed.
Kperogi, in a series of tweets stated that the ‘cabal isn’t banking on any legitimate election to get Kingibe in power; INEC will just pluck imaginary figures from the air, ignore actual votes, and declare him “winner”.
Born on June 25, 1945, Kingibe hails from Borno State and started his political career in 1988.
He was the running mate to the acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1993 Presidential election, Moshood Abiola.
Kingibe later joined General Sani Abacha as the Foreign Minister of Nigeria from 1993 to 1995.

votes, and declare him "winner"–like it did Buhari this year. Nevertheless, I predict that should Buhari survive till 2023, he won't hand over power to anyone, including Kingibe. Apart from his hopeless love of power for the hell of it, Buhari needs power to stay alive.

The obscene amount of money Nigeria habitually fritters away to keep him alive, including periodic blood transfusions, can only be sustained if he's in power. He won't get that sort of money outside power. These are really interesting times in Nigeria!
