The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) Bola Tinubu has said with the and President Muhammadu Buhari backing his ambition he would win the presidential election in 2023.
The former governor of Lagos State made the remark while reacting to some comments credited to former Secretary of the Government of the Federation (SGF) Babachir Lawal.
Lawal reportedly said Tinubu cannot win the 2023 presidential election with a Muslim-Muslim ticket.
The pro-Muslim-Muslim ticket claimed that the APC flag bearer disregarded Northern Christians by opting for a Muslim running mate.
But Tinubu who spoke through the Director of Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga said the former SGF’s comments are mere conjectures.
He said he would win the presidential election with the support of APC and President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Mere conjectures, very laughable projections. Asiwaju has never been on the ballot and lost any election.
”With 22 states under APC control, with the incumbent President’s backing, Asíwájú is heading for a landslide victory.
“Let Babachir deal first with the division in his renegade group, instead of pontificating on the outcome of the election.
“This man, who is amplifying our religious difference with his gang, is from Hong LGA in Adamawa State. He could not make Buhari win the council in the 2019 election, even though we had a Christian with the Buhari ticket,” he said.
