The
National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and
Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo have endorsed Lagos-lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN) as Nigeria’s
next attorney-General.
Femi Falana:
A Lagos-based Lawyer
Reliable sources within the All
Progressives Congress, APC have on Sunday squealed to The Punch that Falana was favoured by a camp in
the party to emerge as the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the
Federation.
A top APC chieftain said the Vice
President, Osinbajo and the National Leader of the APC, Tinubu, had convinced
Buhari to appoint Falana.
Tinubu and Osinbajo were said to have
told Buhari that appointing Falana, who he jailed over 30 years ago, would
boost his image as a ‘converted democrat.’
However, a source within the party
added power blocs within Falana’s home state, Ekiti, might not be disposed to
the choice of the human rights lawyer because he is not a member of the APC.
