National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has purchased the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s N100 million presidential Nomination and Expression of Interest Forms.
It was gathered that Asiwaju Tinubu, who is currently in Saudi Arabia for Hajj, was represented by some of his close associates including House of Representatives member from Ikeja Federal Constituency, Hon. James Faleke; member representing Agege Federal Constituency in the Green Chamber, Babatunde Adejare and a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal.
Hon. Faleke, Babachir Lawal and other loyalists of the Governor of Lagos State picked up the presidential forms for Tinubu at the APC National Headquarters on Blantyre Street, Wuse 2, Abuja, at exactly 3:00pm.
Tinubu had, in January 2022, announced his desire to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari come May 2023.
He also told Aso Rock reporters that becoming Nigeria’s President was his “lifelong ambition” and that there was nothing wrong in a kingmaker becoming a king.
Already, Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba; Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello; amongst others have picked up the APC presidential forms while others are expected to follow suit in the coming days.
They include Vice President Yemi Osinbajo; Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi; Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige; Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi; former Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha; former Abia State Governor, Orji Kalu; amongst others jostling to be the flagbearer at the end of the APC presidential primary scheduled to hold at the end of May 2022.
