A subtle campaign for the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, to become president of Nigeria in 2023, began on Monday in Ibadan and Oyo town of Oyo State.
The movement began with visits to the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Saliu Adetunji, Aje Ogungunniso I; and the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III, to seek their royal blessings for the actualisation of the dream.
The team comprises ex-senators, former members of the House of Representatives, and some serving and former political office holders from different states across the six states of South-West.
Bola Tinubu, National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, on Saturday, commended President Muhammadu Buhari over his prompt intervention in rescuing the over 300 kidnapped students of Government Science Secondary School in Kankara, Katsina State.
Tinubu said the release of the students was an indication that Buhari was committed to ending insecurity in Nigeria.
In a statement by his Media Aide, Tunde Rahman, the APC National Leader said Buhari was determined to “see the back of bandits and insurgents in the land.”
The former Lagos State Governor also commended the Katsina State Governor, Aminu Bello Masari and the armed forces for working tirelessly to secure the release of the schoolboys.
