2023: Tinubu’s aides begin campaign for APC leader

Chief Ahmed Bola Tinubu, APC Chieftain

While the leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) have cautioned against overheating the tension in the nations with campaigns ahead of the 2023 presidency, aides of the APC national leader, Ahmed Bola Tinubu have maintained that their boss is ripped and over qualified to lead Nigeria in 2023

APC national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole had last week, while denying having any ambition to contest for the presidency in 2023 warned that the ruling party must right now concentrate of governance and fulfilling its promises to the citizens that won it the 2019 presidential election, rather than politics, noting that the time for politics is over for now.

While giving the hint of the APC national leader’s plans for 2023, one of his close allies, Lanre Razak, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that he (Tinubu) is ’eminently’ qualified to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.

Razak, who spoke on wide speculations that Tinubu is interested in contesting for the presidency in 2023, Razak noted that the national leader of the APC played a prominent role in the campaigns that led to the defeat of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) adding that he has also helped much to enshrine and stabilise democracy in the country.

The APC chieftain, who urged the APC leadership to maintain its position on zoning the presidency to the South in 2023 maintained that his boss, Bola Tinubu has all it takes to succeed President Muhammadu Buahri in 2023.

This is even as a Niger Delta leader and former minister of Information, Chief Edwin Clerk has maintained that Bola Tinubu has nothing to offer that a South East President cannot offer for the progress and development of Nigeria.

Clerk there maintained that the South East must not be denied the opportunity of producing Nigeria’s next president, when power shifts to the South in 2023

According to Razak, “Nigerians do not need to look far to know that the APC national leader, Bola Tinubu, is the man that the presidential cap fits for the next election. He is eminently qualified to succeed President, Muhammadu Buhari and build on the foundation the latter is currently building.

“Tinubu is an achiever and his democratic credentials, vis-a-vis his leading role in forming a coalition that shoved aside the People’s Democratic Party (PDP’s) misrule has made it crystal clear that with him in the saddle in 2023, Nigeria would be better for it,” Razak said.

On speculations that Buhari might seek a third term, the APC chieftain warned that the President must not fall to fall for such “booby traps from professional sycophants while assuring that he will vacate the seat in conformity with the constitutional provision.
