National leader of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on Monday, formally declared his intention to contest the 2023 Presidential election under the platform of the APC.
Tinubu made declarations when he visited President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
While speaking with journalists at the State House, Tinubu said it has been his life-long ambition to be president of Nigeria.
“I answer that with categorical yes. I’ve informed the President of my intention but I have not informed Nigerians yet.
“I’m still consulting. And I have no problem consulting. And I’ve not set a parameter of limitation to the extent of how many people I will consult. You will soon hear, all you want to hear is the categorical declaration. You’ve gotten that truth from me that I have informed Mr. President of my ambition, and you don’t expect more answers than that”, he said.
He dismissed the assertion that ”a kingmaker cannot become a king”.
He also stated that he would like to takeover from President Buhari in 2023 to continue with the good works of the ruling APC.
