DAILY POST reports that Tinubu had during his visit to Aso Villa on Monday, informed the president of his intention to run for presidency in 2023.<\/p>\n

Tinubu told State House correspondents after a closed-door meeting with Buhari that the president did not ask him to discard his political ambition.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe president is a democrat. He did not ask me to stop, he didn\u2019t ask me not to attempt and pursue my ambition. It\u2019s a lifelong ambition.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re running a democratic dispensation and you must adopt the principles and values and virtues of democracy,\u201d Tinubu said.<\/p>\n

He also dismissed the calls in some quarters that he should remain a kingmaker instead of nurturing presidential ambition in 2023.<\/p>\n
