Former Lagos State governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has obtained the All Progressives Congress’ N100m Presidential Nomination and Expression of Interest Forms.

Tinubu had January announced his desire to succeed the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari in May 2023.
He had told Aso Rock reporters that becoming Nigeria’s President was his “lifelong ambition” and that there was nothing wrong with a kingmaker becoming a king.
Tinubu is expected back in the country after his observance of the Umrah in Saudi Arabia.
