Tinubu Will Win 2023 Presidential Election, We’re Lucky To Have Him – Buhari

In the upcoming 2023 general elections, President Muhammadu Buhari voiced confidence that the All Progressives Congress, or APC, and its presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, would prevail.

Following a meeting with His Royal Majesty, King Charles III at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday, Buhari made this statement in a British interview.

The President believes the APC is fortunate to have Tinubu as its presidential candidate going into the general elections of 2023.

When asked the chances of the APC in the 2023 elections, Buhari said, “What are the chances of my party not winning the election? We are going to win the election.

“Tinubu, the presidential candidate, a very well-known politician in the country, he was a two-term governor in Lagos State, the most resourceful state and the most visited state. So, I think the party was lucky to get him to be the candidate,” he added.

Recall Tinubu contested presidential primary in June alongside Vice President Yemi Osinbajo; Senate President Ahmad Lawan and former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi.

More than 2,300 delegates voted in the contest that produced Tinubu, who polled a total of 1,271 votes – over four times the votes scored by his closet rival, Amaechi who had 316 votes.

Osinbajo, Lawan, and Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State came behind the duo with 235, 152, and 47 votes respectively.

Tinubu will be contesting the presidency in 2023 alongside frontline contenders including Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Rabiu Kwankwaso of the News Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP).
