Buhari lauds Tinubu, says APC is lucky to have him as presidential candidate

The All Progressives Congress, or APC, will win the 2023 presidential election, according to President Muhammadu Buhari.

Buhari stated that Tinubu's selection as the APC's presidential candidate was fortunate.

He responded to the likelihood that the APC would win the 2023 presidential election while speaking in the United Kingdom.

Asked about APC’s chances of not winning in 2023, 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, 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.”

After defeating Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Senate President Ahmad Lawan, and former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi in June, Tinubu was declared the APC's presidential candidate.

In order to overcome Amaechi, who had 316 votes, the former governor of Lagos State polled 1,271 votes.

A number of scandals have dogged his rise to power in Nigeria since then.

Despite these accusations, Tinubu had been exonerated by the APC presidential campaign team.
