The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, has downplayed
the possibility of joining the 2023 presidential race.
Aregbesola said proper consideration must be done before he
jumps into the 2023 presidential race.
The former governor of Osun State, who spoke at a virtual
colloquium with the theme: “Africa: Interrogating the Leadership Questions” in
Abuja, was responding to questions on his plans to run in the 2023 presidential
election.
Aregbesola stated that he belonged to the class of focused
and serious politicians.
He said: “I have no response to that. I belong to a group of
focused, serious politicians who don’t on their own just jump up and pursue
ambitions, I have never done that before and I won’t start that now.
Some time a go, there were reports of rift between
Aregbesola and his political “godfather” Bola Tinubu, National Leader of the
All Progressives Congress, APC.
The alleged rift was said to be connected to Aregbesola’s
move to join the presidential race in 2023.
Aregbesola’s move to contest the presidential election was
said to have led to the emergence of factions within the Governors Advisory
Council, GAC, in Lagos State.
Tinubu, however, dismissed the reported rift with
Aregbesola, saying GAC had disbanded all factions within its fold.
The APC National Leader had described the claims of rift
with the Minister as false.
