Dele Farotimi, a lawyer, has shared his thoughts on a statement human rights activist Prof. Chidi Odinkalu’s made about former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai and President Bola Tinubu. Odinkalu had, in an interview, stated that he would support Tinubu to run for a third term in 2031 if former Governor El-Rufai attempts to become president
Speaking in an interview with News Central TV, Farotimi stated that he could not disagree with Odinkalu’s opinion. However, Farotimi said that choosing who to support for president between El-Rufai and Tinubu is like deciding which of his hand to cut off. He said both of them would not make life better for Nigerians.
In Dele Farotimi’s words: “I cannot argue against what Chidi Odinkalu said, although it is almost like asking which hand I prefer to have chopped off because between the two of them the Nigerian people will find no salvation.
