2023: Why Buhari didn’t kick against my presidential ambition – Tinubu

National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has revealed why President Muhammadu Buhari didn’t kick against his presidential ambition for 2023.

Newsflash Nigeria had earlier reported that Tinubu had visited President Buhari on Monday evening at Aso Villa and informed him of his intention to run for the presidency in 2023.

Tinubu told State House correspondents after a closed-door meeting with Buhari that the president did not ask him to discard his political ambition.

“The president is a democrat. He did not ask me to stop, he didn’t ask me not to attempt and pursue my ambition. It’s a lifelong ambition.

“You’re running a democratic dispensation and you must adopt the principles and values and virtues of democracy,” Tinubu said.

He also dismissed the calls in some quarters that he should remain a kingmaker instead of nurturing presidential ambition in 2023.

The former governor of Lagos State stressed that he has the confidence, vision, and capacity to build on the foundation laid by President Buhari to turn around the fortunes of the country.

Tinubu was not accompanied by any principal member of the APC.

Tinubu’s visit comes days after Buhari warned members of the APC that they may lose the 2023 general elections to the Peoples Democratic Party if they refused to settle their differences.
