A Nigerian professor Farooq Kperoogi says the ‘cabals’ have picked Babagana Kingibe as the successor to President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
Kperoogi, a journalism teacher and popular columnist, made the cabals claim in a series of tweets on Sunday, July 21.
Yaahoo Journalist recalls that President Buhari defeated Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during the February 23 Presidential election to emerge Nigeria’s President for a second term.
After the President’s tenure, power is expected to shift to the southern part of the country and a former Lagos Governor Bola Tinubu has been tipped to take over from Mr. Buhari.
Speaking on the possibility of that scene playing out, Kperoogi said Tinubu won’t get the presidential seat in the next four years because he is not the choice of the cabals.
He wrote: “Kingibe: The Cabal’s Choice for President–Short Thread.
“Members of the cold, calculating, and conniving Buhari cabal have chosen Babagana Kingibe as Buhari’s successor.
“In the privacy of their conclaves, they snigger at perpetually drugged and pie-eyed Bola Tinubu who naively imagines that Buhari will hand over power to him.”
He called on Nigerians to “Watch Kingibe’s media appearances in the coming weeks, months, and years.
“Of course, 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”–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!”
Meanwhile, Yaahoo Journalist understands that the “cabals” are a group of persons who are believed to dictate the state of affairs in Nigeria including who becomes president.
