National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu has explained why he believes he will emerge victorious in the 2023 presidential election.
Gatekeepers News reports that Tinubu says he believes with the “strong support” of the masses, he will win the 2023 presidential election.
On January 10, the former Lagos governor announced that he has informed Presidential Muhammadu Buhari of his decision to contest the presidency in 2023.
During his visit to the Ibadan home of Rashidi Ladoja, a former Governor of Oyo State, Tinubu said he has received positive reactions from critical stakeholders on his interest in running for president.
Tinubu also visited the Governor of the state, Seyi Makinde to commiserate with the Governor over the death of the Soun of Ogbomoso, Jimoh Oyewumi; the Olubadan of Ibadan, Saliu Adetunji; and a former Governor of the state, Adebayo Alao-Akala.
Tinubu after his meeting with Ladoja acknowledged that he is aware of the challenges ahead of his bid to contest, but expressed optimism that he would emerge victoriously.
The APC Chieftain said, “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.
“The reactions of critical stakeholders to my presidential ambition have been very positive, encouraging, 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 Nigerians, we are going to achieve a resounding victory.”
