It will be recalled that Tinubu had in January openly declared his intention to contest for presidency in 2023 when he revealed that he has informed President Muhammadu Buhari of his intention to succeed him as Nigeria’s leader.
Tinubu stated that his ambition to be President has been a life-long ambition, noting that what he did in Lagos in his time as Governor, he has the capacity to do in the entire country.
