The former governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, says becoming Nigeria’s president is his lifelong ambition.
He said this after a closed-door meeting with the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), at the State House, Abuja, on Monday.
According to him, Buhari did not ask him to discard his political ambition.
The National leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, says his visit to the Presidential Villa on Monday offered him the opportunity to formally inform President Muhammadu Buhari of his Presidential ambition in 2023.
When asked how the President responded to his declaration, Tinubu said, “He is a democrat. He didn’t ask me to stop, he didn’t ask me not to attempt and pursue my ambition. It is a lifelong ambition. You are running a democratic dispensation and you must adopt the principles and values and virtues of democracy.”
Tinubu said he’s qualified to make Nigeria better.
