The Ijebu Council of Traditional Rulers in Lagos State has urged the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu to officially throw his hat in the ring in contention for the forthcoming 2023 Presidential Election in Nigeria.
The council disclosed this in a statement after a meeting held on Sunday, March 28, 2021, at the Adeboruwa Palace in Igbogbo, Lagos State.
In an interview with EKO HOT BLOG after the resolution, Hon. Wale Raji said that the notion of urging Asiwaju to throw his hat in the ring ahead of the 2023 Presidential election was a well thought one. He cited Asiwaju’s massive strides during his eight years stint as Lagos State Governor as necessary logic to substantiate the fact that “Jagaban” has all the leadership acumen it takes to steer Nigeria towards the path of greatness.
Officially, Tinubu is yet to declare his intention of running for the 2023 Presidential election, even though his actions recently appears to be speaking louder than words, with some political observers opining that his recent love affair with certain powerful players in the Northern political caucus may not be unconnected with subtle moves geared towards strengthening his bond with political allies ahead of the much anticipated 2023 Presidential Election race.
