Meanwhile, Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola last week asked Nigerians to wait till January 2022. for his former boss to declare whether he will be running for president in 2023 or not.Advertisment
When he was asked if he will support the candidacy of the national leader of the APC in the 2023 election, Fashola said Tinubu has not informed him he is running in 2023.
“I saw him last week; he didn’t tell me he is running for office and to the best of my knowledge, the last statement he made about it was that people would know in January,” he said.
The Minister was also asked if he enquired from Tinubu about his intention to run, during the visit he said, “No, I didn’t ask him, I only went to see how well he was doing.
“He has issued a statement that I will speak in January, so let’s wait for his speech.”Advertisment
While he was away on medical grounds abroad, Tinubu received the creme-dela-creme of Nigeria’s political actors including President Buhari at his London residence.
However, despite Tinubu’s silence on his presidential ambition, several groups, including the South West Agenda for Asiwaju (SWAGA) have been vocal about the politician’s interest in contesting for the 2023 presidential poll.
