Presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, visited the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Thursday night.
He was accompanied by Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and MD/CEO Oando Plc, Mr Wale Tinubu.
The trio met with President Muhammadu Buhari, who had earlier vowed to work for Tinubu’s success.
In a letter to APC Governors, Buhari described the just concluded presidential primary of the APC as one the most competitive and peaceful in the history of Nigeria’s democracy.
‘‘The party primaries were peacefully conducted and the delegates have selected the candidate to carry the APC flag in the 2023 Presidential Primaries. ‘Today, as a patriotic APC member and stakeholder, I trust that you will come together to work with our candidate to win the 2023 elections.
‘‘In the past 7 years in government, we have achieved a lot. However, we have a lot more to do. The APC project is far from over and we need all of you to come together to ensure our progressive journey to peace and prosperity is sustained.
‘‘Our candidate, His Excellency, Sen, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is no stranger to you. He is our friend and brother. We know his commitment, his track record, and his capacity to lead our party to success. So now is the time for all of us to come together and march forward, as we did in 2015, to a convincing APC victory.
‘‘I look forward to working closely with APC Governors to support Sen. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and all our APC candidates to success in 2023. While I wish our great part success in the 2023 elections, please accept, the assurances of my consideration and personal regards.’’
