Bola Tinubu, former Lagos governor and national leader of the All Progressives Congress, says he will run for president in 2023 to build on President Muhammadu Buhari’s legacy.
Mr Tinubu, who visited Mr Buhari to discuss his political ambition on Monday, made this statement after meeting with the president.
“I have the confidence, the vision, the capacity to rule, build on the foundation of Mr President, and turn Nigeria better. I have done that with commitment and unyielding, you know, in Lagos state,” Mr Tinubu said. “You’ve seen that experience and the capacity to turn things around, and that is what we are doing.”
Mr Buhari’s regime has been characterised by gross violation of human rights abuse, insecurity, economic hardship.
