2023 Presidency: Tinubu seeks APC senators’ support to realise ‘lifetime ambition’

A leading presidential aspirant of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, on Wednesday met with the party’s Senate Caucus at the National Assembly to seek counsel, partnership, and support for his ambition.

The former Governor of Lagos state explained that the elections are coming up in February next year and he cannot do it by himself, but wants the National Assembly to back him to successfully actualise his lifetime ambition.

Tinubu further stressed that he has informed President Muhammadu Buhari of his ambition and publicly announced it.

He asked that the federal lawmakers support and help him get nominated so he can succeed President Buhari as the next Nigerian leader.

Responding, the Senate President , Ahmed Lawan said the APC Senate caucus is a major pillar of the party and has shown loyalty and commitment to the ideals of the party.

The Senate President told Tinubu that in the course of fighting for the unity of the party the lawmakers are with him.

Last week, Tinubu informed the APC caucus in a letter written to Lawan and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, which they read out on the floor at the plenary on March 8, 2022.

Tinubu, however urged the lawmakers to meet with him to exchange ideas on how to run the country.
