Hon. Ogunnusi, who represents Ifako/Ijaye Constituency, said the APC would do well at the poll next year if it presented the Speaker of the House of Reps, Aminu Tambuwal as its presidential candidate and the Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, as his running mate.
In fact, Tambuwal and Fashola is a winning ticket for millions of Nigerians.
He said, “This is my personal opinion. If we have Tambuwal as President and Fashola as Vice-President, Jonathan will be out immediately it is announced. I think that is what the youth want. If you want a change in this country, let them put Tambuwal and Fashola. Nigeria will change and in fact, the stock exchange will increase that same day it is announced. It will give people a relief.
“Because these are humane people, people who have a human heart. For the first time in Nigeria, a young man led the House of Representatives for four years without inhibition or conflict. And this young man knows the names of all the lawmakers up to their constituencies. And Fashola, all over the world has been rated as a performer and you can see the way he works.
Tambuwal, who is still a member of the Peoples Democratic Party is rumoured to be finalising plans to defect to the APC so as to be able to actualise his dream of becoming president in 2015.
The lawmaker said this during an interview with Punch on Thursday. Ogunnusi described Gov Fashola as a hardworking governor who was generally loved for his accomplishments and also described Tambuwal as a “humble leader.”
He added, “You can even see in him that he has dedicated most of his life to the survival of the state. If he (Fashola) agrees, Nigeria would benefit. Both of them are saleable products and they are patriotic. For former Governor Bola Tinubu, let him be the leader of the Yoruba like Obafemi Awolowo; and let Muhammadu Buhari be the northern leader.”
