VICTORY: Tinubu visits Buhari, speaks on 2023 presidency - jagaban Blog

National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has stated that conversations bordering on who will succeed President Muhammadu Buhari, should be jettisoned for now.

Tinubu visited the president on Tuesday, January 7, 2020, at the State House, Abuja.
Following the brief meeting with Buhari, Punch reports that the former Lagos governor said it is too early to speak on zoning of the presidency ahead of the next general elections in 2023.
Tinubu maintained that “it will be mere restlessness to talk about it now."
One of the nation's biggest political players and a godfather of the politics of the southwest region, Tinubu is believed to be nursing a presidential ambition ahead of the 2023 election, more so because there is a gentleman's agreement among Nigeria's dominant political parties that will ensure that the next president emerges from the country's more sophisticated south.
Buhari, a Sunni Muslim from the north, has pledged not to amend the constitution or seek a third term in office, paving the way for a jostle for his successor.

Tinubu backs Amotekun, calls for  dialogue (Full statement)-JAGABAN BLOG Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), weighed in on the controversy around the establishment of the Western Nigeria Security Network, saying it has not endangered the foundation of the country. It was his first reaction since the security outfit, with the code-name Amotekun was launched in Ibadan almost two weeks ago. He said Amotekun presents a great opportunity for the country in its quest to enthrone true federalism, of which he has been an advocate since 1999. “Shorn of the overly dramatic language, what lies before us is but a step in the evolution of our federalism. This is an opportunity to more clearly define that federalism”, he wrote. He also explained why he had kept a studied silence, until know, despite the baiting from some quarters. He called for a private discussion between the Governors of the South-west and the Attorney-General and ...
