According to reports, Faleke, Lawal, and other loyalists of the strongman of Lagos politics picked up the presidential forms for him (Tinubu) at the APC National Headquarters on Blantyre Street, Wuse 2, Abuja, at exactly 3 pm on Friday.
Tinubu had in January 2022 announced his desire to succeed the incumbent President, Muhammadu Buhari, in May 2023.
However, Tinubu had told State House reporters that becoming Nigeria’s President was his “lifelong ambition”; adding that there was nothing wrong with a kingmaker becoming a king.
Already, Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba; as well as Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello have picked up the APC presidential forms.
