Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The All Progressives Congress, APC, on Thursday, opened up on the chances of Bola Tinubu, National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, emerging as its presidential candidate in 2023.<\/p>\n

Ex-Deputy National Publicity Secretary of APC, Yekini Nabena, said Tinubu\u2019s chances are dependent on his alliances with party stakeholders from other zones in the country.<\/p>\n

Speaking with DAILY POST, Nabena said: \u201cI don\u2019t know or tell how strong Tinubu\u2019s chances are because politics is all about alliance.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt depends on who he is aligning with and his alibi. A tree cannot make a forest, you can be strong in a particular state but what about others.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, politics is all about numbers, so i can\u2019t say much about anybody\u2019s chances. No matter the zone you are from you still need to work with other zones because it\u2019s the people that will count.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, former and current Speakers of State Houses of Assembly in the South West on Thursday threw their weight behind the projected presidential ambition of Tinubu.<\/p>\n

They made their stand known during a meeting in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
