A former governor of Lagos and the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is likely to emerge as the party’s flag bearer for the 2023 presidential election.
This was just as the Igbo speaking community in Lagos State urged the former governor to contest for the presidency in 2023.
The group made the request during a visit to former Chairman of Amuwo Odofin Local Government, Comrade Ayodele Adewale, at his office in Festac Town, Lagos.
While describing Tinubu as a detribalized Nigerian and a great leader, the group added its voice to that of Adewale and other groups who have been demanding that the political leader contest for the number one position in the country in 2023.
The leader of the delegation, Chief Sunday Udeh, commended the national leader’s leadership example, adding that Igbos in the state are ready to support the former governor’s aspiration and the APC in general.
Udeh urged Adewale to introduce the leadership of the community to Lagos APC chairman, Alhaji Tunde Balogun, and Asiwaju Tinubu.
Responding, Adewale thanked members of the delegation for recognising the high standards set by the late Alhaji Lateef Kayode Jakande, which was a template he replicated in Amuwo Odofin during his tenure as the council boss.
He revealed that the party chairman is currently focused on ensuring the success of the ongoing party membership registration and revalidation exercise, which has extended the exercise for a few days.
