2023: There was gang-up against me before APC presidential primary, says Tinubu
The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has said that there was a gang-up against his person, recounting how he fought to win the ticket.
Tinubu stated this on Sunday, after he returned to Lagos State for the first time after defeating the ex-Transport Minister, Rotimi Amaechi, Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo, among others to become the flag-bearer of the APC ahead of 2023 elections.
Speaking at the palace of Oba of Lagos, Alayeluwa Rilwan Akiolu, Tinubu said: “No Lagos indigene has had the opportunity to become President of Nigeria despite the contribution of the State to the national stability and progress.
“The highest position attained by any Lagosian in national leadership is the position of Chief Judge of the Federation.
“I took up the fight to break this jinx. The battle to secure the APC ticket was hard. When I was almost fed up, I resorted to prayers. I also poured out my mind when I felt there was a gang up against my person. Thank God that I have brought home the presidential ticket.”
