BREAKING NEWS 2023: THERE WAS
GANG-UP AGAINST ME BEFORE APC PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY – TINUBU
The presidential candidate of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has claimed he fought to win the ticket.
According to him, there was a gang up against his
person before the party’s presidential primary.
Tinubu stated this on Sunday, after he returned to
Lagos State for the first time after beating off ex-Transport Minister, Rotimi
Amaechi, Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo, among others to become the ruling
party’s candidate for next year’s election.
At the palace of Oba of Lagos, Alayeluwa Rilwan
Akiolu, Tinubu said: “No Lagos indigene has had the opportunity to become
President of Nigeria despite the contribution of the State to the national
stability and progress.
“The highest position attained by any Lagosian in
national leadership is the position of Chief Judge of the Federation.
“I took up the fight to break this jinx. The battle
to secure the APC ticket was hard. When I was almost fed up, I resorted to
prayers. I also poured out my mind when I felt there was a gang up against my
person. Thank God that I have brought home the presidential ticket.”
Tinubu has named Kabiru Ibrahim Masari as his
running mate.
Masari’s name was submitted on Friday, to meet the
deadline by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
