“I’ve informed the president of my intention but I have not informed Nigerians yet. I’m still consulting. And I have no problem consulting. I’ve not set a parameter of limitation to the extent of how many people I will consult,” he said.
“You will soon hear. All you want to hear is the categorical declaration. You’ve gotten that truth from me that I have informed Mr. President of my ambition.”, Mr Tinubu added.
The 2023 general elections is barely less than a year away as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has released a tentative timetable for the elections.
