The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress and Presidential hopeful, Bola Tinubu, has said that he has no son grown up enough to make presidential declaration.
Tinubu state this shortly after a meeting with members of the Progressives Governors Forum at the Kebbi State Governor’s Lodge, Asokoro, Abuja
This follows the Monday’s presidential declaration of his erstwhile political godson, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo in a meeting also with the APC governors.
Although Tinubu is yet to officially declare for office, he had in January informed the President of his intention to succeed him.
Responding to questions from journalists shortly after the meeting, Tinubu who said he was consulting widely to ensure his emergence as APC flag bearer ahead of next year’s presidential elections emphasised that he has no son at the moment who is grown enough to challenge him for the ticket.
When asked about the Presidential declaration of Vice President Osinbajo which came only a few hours before the Kebbi House meeting, he said, “I don’t have any son grown up enough to make such declaration.
“My mission here is to seek collaboration, support and encouragement of my party, the APC, for my ambition to become the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as replacement for President Muhammadu Buhari after his tenure.”
