A member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon Gbolahan Yishawu, has claimed that the State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is prepared to hand the party’s National Leader, Bola Tinubu, its presidential ticket in 2023.
Yishawu said the success of Saturday’s State congress showed that they were ready to make Tinubu APC flag bearer.
The lawmaker, who is representing Eti-Osa II, stated this at the weekend at Mobolaji Johnson Arena Stadium in Lagos State.
Yishawu noted that the success of the Congress showed that internal democracy had come to stay.
He commended party members for peaceful and orderliness during the outcome of the congress.
He said: “It is a demonstration of internal democracy as you can see here everything is peaceful, very orderly, and the rules and regulations of the party is being played according to the constitution of the party and we are upholding all democratic and pragmatic Stakeholders of today, internal democracy is working in the All Progressive Congress party.
“For us in Lagos State, the Congress shows that we are one and united and we can galvanize ourselves and by God’s grace, our wishe is to have our leader Aisiwaju bola Tinubu of our presidential candidate of the party come 2023.”
Tinubu is believed to be nursing a 2023 presidential ambition but yet to make his intention known to the public.
To this end, posters have been sighted in some states, while a campaign office was opened in Abuja.
Amid the clamour by his supporters, the former Lagos State governor has remained silent over his presidential ambition.
