One of the aspirants for the 2023 Presidential election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, has said that he is ready to get dirty for his 2023 Presidential ambition as no amount of intimidation will prevail on him to stand down his aspiration to be Nigeria’s President.
Tinubu made his stands known in the Palace of the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi and the Olubadan-designate, Oba Lekan Balogun during his consultation on the monarch.
Speaking at the Olubadan-designate’s palace in Ibadan, the National Leader of the APC insisted that no amount of intimidation could stop him from driving home his ambition.
He said his visit to Oyo and Ibadan was borne out of his respect for the royal stool, and to seek their blessings, cooperation and prayers to lead the country come 2023.
He said: “No amount of intimidation can stop me. I am ready to get dirty. I am out to become President of Nigeria. We are at a crossroads.”
“I cannot embark on a project of such magnitude without seeking for prayers and cooperation of the traditional rulers.
“I am here to inform our fathers of my decision to run for the position of the President of this country in 2023. What I need from our highly referred traditional rulers are their prayers and cooperation.
