2023 Presidency: Nigerians Should Wait For Tinubu To Speak In January – Babatunde Fashola

Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has urged Nigerians to wait till January 2022 for the National Leader of All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, to declare whether he will be running for president in 2023 or not. He stated this on Channels Television’s ‘Hard Copy’ program aired on Friday night.

A political movement, Southwest Agenda (SWAGA) was recently launched in Lagos to mobilize support for Tinubu ahead of the 2023 presidential election. Several reports have also claimed that the APC national leader will be running for the seat of the president during the forthcoming elections.

During the program Babatunde Fashola was asked if he’ll support Tinubu if he declares his interest in the 2023 presidential race, he said. “I saw him (Tinubu) last week, he didn’t tell me he is running for office and to the best of my knowledge, the last statement he made on it is that people will know in January.”Fashola also said he has not asked Tinubu whether he is interested in the 2023 Presidency or not.

The former governor of Lagos state further said the APC national leader “has issued a statement that, ‘I will speak in January, so let us wait till January.” Babatunde Fashola added that he can’t speak for anybody on the 2023 presidency, saying nobody has come out to say “I want to be Nigeria’s President.”
