Why Tinubu Yet To Decide On 2023

National leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has revealed why he is yet to decide on 2023 presidential election.

In a statement on Saturday, Tinubu noted that he had yet to make a decision on 2023 given the health and economic crises occasioned by the coronavirus pandemic which last recorded over 24,000 cases with 558 fatalities.

He said he had devoted the last few months to thinking of policies that could help the nation during the present exigency rather than worrying over 2023.

“To those who have been actively bleating how the President’s actions and the NEC meeting have ended my purported 2023 ambitions, I seek your pity. I am but a mere mortal who does not enjoy the length of foresight or political wisdom you profess to have. Already, you have assigned colourful epitaphs to the 2023 death of an alleged political ambition that is not yet even born,” said the APC chieftain.

“At this extenuating moment with COVID-19 and its economic fallout hounding us, I cannot see as far into the distance as you. I have made no decision regarding 2023 for the concerns of this hour are momentous enough.

“During this period, I have not busied myself with politicking regarding 2023. I find that a bit distasteful and somewhat uncaring particularly when so many of our people have been unbalanced by the twin public health and economic crises we face.

“Personally, I find greater merit trying to help in the present by offering policy ideas, both privately and publicly, where I think they might help.”
