2023: Buhari Not Supporting Tinubu’s Ambition Now – Presidency

Nigeria’s Presidency on Friday said that President Muhammadu Buhari’s visit to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress ( APC) in the United Kingdom (UK) was not to show support for his presidential ambition in 2023.

Speaking as a guest on Channels Television programme, Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, said given the fact that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has not given the green light for campaigns to start, the President will never break the rules by campaigning.

He said the President may campaign after the Presidential candidate has emerged in the APC.

“The President still has two years, less three months in his tenure of office. So for him to start supporting somebody now will just be jumping the gun”.

“And you know that President Buhari will never do that. Before the 2019 election, people started to campaign for him before INEC blew the whistle of the campaign to start. He was the one who came out to say No, don’t do it!. Don’t jump the gun!.

“So the President himself will dare not jump the gun in terms of supporting one candidate or the other”.

“Also recall that he has said that anybody who wants to be President after him should go out and work. That means the president may not be supporting anybody until maybe when the candidate of the party emerges. Knowing President Buhari, he will never jump the gun.”
