  2023 :Why Tinubu must not be dumped by Buhari - jagaban blog Bola Tinubu, the Jagaban of Borgu, must not be abandoned by President Buhari and his cronies, if Nigeria will remain one by 2023. Bola Tinubu, the erstwhile governor of Lagos State is also the godfather of Lagos politics, having installed three governors in succession-Raji Fashola, Akinwunmi Ambode and Sanwo Olu.

Atiku, Saraki Declare Position  On Returning To APC - JAGABAN BLOG The camps of former Vice President  Atiku Abubakar  and ex-Senate President  Bukola Saraki  have declared that their principals are not thinking of returning to the  All Progressives Congress  (APC). Same goes for the camp of former Kano State governor,  Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso . They also described the APC as a sinking ship that is on a downward journey and not attractive to anybody.

Rumours have been flying around that Tinubu has plans to run for presidency in 2023, even though he hasn’t confirmed it. Reacting in an Interview with newsmen yesterday, Lawal claimed that no one has the right to stop Tinubu. He further attributed Adams Oshiomhole’s removal as APC national chairman, to Tinubu’s alleged ambition, adding that the people who facilitated his removal, are interested in the party’s candidate for 2023 presidential election. Babachir urged the party to give all aspirants equal and fair chances. He said “ Those who wanted Adams Oshiohmole out are more desperate because of 2023 because as a n
