Bola Tinubu, National Leader of
the All Progressives Congress, APC, on Monday dismissed reports that he is
“secretly” opening a presidential campaign headquarters in Abuja.
Tinubu, who denied making such a
move, stressed that he was currently focused on helping President Muhammadu
Buhari to deliver on his mandates.
A popular news platform had reported that the APC National Leader, “quietly” opened his
campaign Headquarters in the Maitama area of Abuja, ahead of the 2023
presidential election.
The report claimed that a member of the House of Representatives, James Faleke was a key coordinator of the campaign office.
However, Tinubu, who spoke
through his Media Aide, Tunde Rahman urged his supporters to join him in
supporting Buhari’s administration.
Rahman stated this in a chat with
Dailypost when asked to respond on the opening of a campaign office.
He, however, said followers of the
former Lagos State governor who want him to run for the office of the president
may be behind the said office.
“His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola
Tinubu has not even declared his intention to contest the 2023 presidential
election let alone opening a campaign office. He has repeatedly said 2023 is
still some years away and that he is at present focused on helping President
Buhari to deliver on his mandate as he is doing and coast home to victory.
“That is his position. But you
know also that many of his friends, associates and supporters who feel he is
eminently qualified for the presidency and has done excellently well to advance
our democracy and want to see him contest for the top job are doing everything
on their own to see this happen.
“I don’t know the office you are
talking about, but it may just be one of those things these people are doing to
get Asiwaju Tinubu to do as they wish. And I think they have a right to advance
the course they believe in. Asiwaju’s appeal, however, is they allow the
present government to concentrate on the good job it is doing and allow the
matter of 2023 to take care of itself in the fullness of time,” he said.
