Former Lagos State Governor and National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu has declared that he is ready to get dirty in his bid to become the next president of Nigeria.
He was speaking at the palace of the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi. It was a double-barrelled trip as he visited the Olubadan-designate, Oba Lekan Balogun in his ongoing consultations and seeking of blessings.
Tinubu said he was not the kind of person to be intimidated by other contenders as he was determined to be President Muhammadu Buhari’s successor in 2023.
His words: “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.”
He had earlier told the Alaafin that it was important he (Bola) needed the blessings of the traditional institution before embarking on the journey properly.
He said: “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 revered traditional rulers are their prayers and cooperation.”
