Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu has declared that he is ready to get dirty in the struggle to emerge next Nigerian President.<\/p>\n

The 2023 presidential aspirant on the platform of APC, stated this on Sunday during a consultation with the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi and the Olubadan-designate, Oba Lekan Balogun, seeking their various blessings.<\/p>\n

The Asiwaju vowed that no other contender would intimidate him out of the race, stressing that he is out to be President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s successor come 2023.<\/p>\n

His words: \u201cNo amount of intimidation can stop me. I am ready to get dirty. I am out to become President of Nigeria. We are at a crossroads.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier, the former Lagos State Governor told the Alaafin that it was important for him to seek blessings from the traditional institution before embarking on the journey properly.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI cannot embark on a project of such magnitude without seeking for prayers and cooperation of the traditional rulers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am here to inform our fathers of my decision to run for the position of the President of this country in 2023. What I need from our highly revered traditional rulers are their prayers and cooperation.\u201d<\/p>\n
