I have informed Buhari of my presidential ambition – Tinubu

All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on Monday said he had informed President Muhammadu Buhari of his presidential ambition.

Tinubu spoke while addressing State House Correspondents, after a closed-door meeting with Buhari in his office at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

He, however, said he was yet to publicly announce his ambition, as, according to him, he was still in consultations with various interests across the country.

Tinubu refused to answer questions on a possible clash of ambition between him and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, whose support groups have been mobilising for his candidacy.

The APC stalwart maintained that he would not discuss any individual.

He described his desire to be president as a life-long ambition, saying that he has the capacity to replicate what he did in Lagos in his time as governor, in the entire country.

Asked why he would not remain a kingmaker rather than being the king, he said there was nothing that stops a kingmaker from becoming the king unless he had committed murder.
