Former Lagos State governor and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has informed President Muhammadu Buhari of his aspiration to contest the 2023 Presidential election. Tinubu informed Buhari of his aspiration, which the President reportedly asked him to go ahead. The Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, was also informed of Tinubu's aspiration. Tinubu and Osinbajo met in Azare, Bauchi State, for the Minister of Education's daughter's wedding. Osinbajo served as Commissioner for Justice and Attorney-General in Tinubu's eight-year administration. Tinubu and Osinbajo met in October last year, and Osinbajo has always insisted that the APC leader has never told him he wanted to contest the 2023 election. The United Nigeria Ambassadors (UNA) has explained why the Southeast geopolitical zone will support the emergence of Osinbajo as the country's next president. The United Nations Ambassadors (UNA) has also called on Osinbajo to contest the 2023 presidential election, stating that nobody from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) could match his candidacy.
