The presidency has said the visit of President Muhammadu
Buhari to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in London was not to support his 2023
presidential ambition.
The president paid a surprise visit on Tinubu in London last
Thursday with several pictures of the visit hitting social media, eliciting
lots of reactions.
Presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, who appeared on
Channels TV’s Politics Today, said Tinubu had been in London at the same time
the president was there.
He said there had been lots of reports on social media about
Tinubu’s health and that the president’s visit was simply on goodwill basis.
According to Adesina, the president still has two years less
three months in his tenure of office and that to start supporting somebody now
would just be like jumping the gun which Buhari would never do.
He said before the 2019 elections, people began to campaign
for Buhari before INEC blew the whistle for the campaign to start.
Adesina said Buhari was the one who came out to say that he
would not jump the gun.
He said the President would dare not jump the gun in terms
of supporting one candidate or the other.
Adesina recalled that Buhari had said anybody who wanted to
be President after him should go out and work.
He said that meant that the President might not be supporting anybody until maybe a candidate of the party emerged.
