The All Progressives Congress’ Chieftain and former governor of Ogun State, Olusegun Osoba, has said that the former governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, has the right to contest for president in 2023.
He said, “Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as an individual has the right to put himself forward, we have not zeroed in on an individual. Zeroing in on any individual will destroy our efforts now but Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has a right to pursue his own agenda.”
The former governor spoke on Tuesday on a television programme.
He advised that the South-West must unite and put its home in order for it to achieve success in the next presidential election.
From his words, there is a gentleman’s agreement within the APC that the South will produce Nigeria’s next president in 2023.
The APC Chieftain, however, added that though “there is so much noise from the East”, but nobody has contacted him or other chieftains of the party to show interest in running for president in 2023.
Osoba noted that “As an elder in the party, nobody from the South-East has contacted or consulted me to lobby, to even say they are interested.”
