Bola Tinubu, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), says with the “strong support” of the masses, he will win the 2023
presidential election.
The former Lagos governor had announced on January 10, that
he had informed Presidential Muhammadu Buhari of his decision to contest the
presidency.
Speaking on Saturday when he visited the Ibadan home of
Rashidi Ladoja, a former governor of Oyo, Tinubu said he had received positive
reactions from critical stakeholders on his interest in running for president.
The APC chieftain had visited Ibadan to commiserate with
Seyi Makinde, governor of the state, over the death of Jimoh Oyewumi, the Soun
of Ogbomoso; Saliu Adetunji, the Olubadan of Ibadan; and Adebayo Alao-Akala, a
former governor of Oyo.
Speaking after the meeting with Ladoja, Tinubu said he is
aware of the challenges ahead, but expressed optimism that he would emerge
victorious.
“Life is a challenge and you must be ready to confront
challenges and overcome. I have the confidence that I will overcome any form of
challenge. I am sure I would face challenges and I have the confidence that I
will overcome them,” he said.
“The reactions of critical stakeholders to my presidential
ambition have been very positive, encouraging and overwhelming and these have
spurred me on with the strong conviction that we would succeed and emerge
victorious after the election.
“Life itself is a
challenge and I have the confidence and capacity to wade through challenges and
overcome. We are forging ahead and with the strong support of the masses of
Nigeria, we are going to achieve resounding victory.”
