Buhari, Tinubu Meet In Aso Villa, Abuja

President Muhammadu Buhari is currently in a meeting with the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The President and the APC leader are together at the Aso Villa in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

After the meeting ended, Tinubu told State House correspondents in Abuja that he was at the Villa to inform President Buhari of his intention to contest the presidential election in 2023.

The APC leader, however, added that he hasn’t informed Nigerians of his intention to succeed the President.

According to him, the President is a democrat and therefore, has not prevented him from the pursuit of his ambition which for him is life-long.

Tinubu maintained that he has the confidence, vision, and capacity to build on the foundation laid by President Buhari to make the country even better.

The reporters went on to ask him what it feels like to be in the presidential race with the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, who is also likely to succeed the President.

Tinubu, however, declined to give a specific response, saying he would not speak about other individuals.

On the other hand, he insisted that the drift and failures of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were being made better by the present administration.

This, according to him, has been achieved through the provision of infrastructure such as rail lines and good roads which have impacted the frequency of fatal crashes and deaths etc.
