Former Governor of Lagos State and presidential hopeful, Bola Tinubu has left the country to rest after holding consultations with prominent Nigerians on his 2023 presidential bid.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Tinubu had met with President Muhammadu Buhari a couple of weeks ago, to intimate him of his intention to give the presidential run a shot in 2023.
The self-styled national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) afterwards held a press conference within the Villa precinct to further dwell on his mission.
He also recently met with former Military President and annuller of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, General Ibrahim Babangida, from whom he told the media, he had gone to “seek his blessing” over his presidential ambition.
Tinubu, who had also visited some northern states, including Niger and Katsina, under the guise of commiserating with the governors and the people, over recent incidences of insecurity and killings, further used the platform to sell the idea of his presidential bid.
However, believed to have been tired from the trips, Tinubu was said to have seen the need to quickly take a break, rest and also see his doctors outside the country.
Although some sources hinted he travelled to London, others were not particularly sure of his destination but could confirm he had since left the country to rest and also run some medical check-ups.
