Buhari Has Been Informed of my intention to run for Presidend- Tinubu

 Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, says he has informed the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), of his intention to contest the presidential election in 2023.

The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, stated this on Monday while briefing State House correspondents after he met with Buhari at the Aso Villa in Abuja.

According to him, the President is a democrat and therefore, has not asked him to stop the pursuit of his ambition which for him is life-long.

The former governor of Lagos State stressed that he has the confidence, vision, and capacity to build on the foundation laid by Buhari to turn around the fortunes of the country.

The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, in 2021 said Tinubu would make his intention whether to run or not for President known in January 2022.

Of recent, posters and billboards advertising the presidential bid of Tinubu, who was Lagos governor from May 1999 to May 2007, have been seen in major cities, including Lagos and Abuja.

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, had in October 2021 inaugurated the South-West Agenda 2023, a political movement mobilising support for Tinubu to contest the 2023 presidential election
