It’s no longer secret that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s interest in the 2023 presidential election is concrete, as the leak of a manifesto for the former Lagos State governor has cleared doubts as to whether the All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain would be taking a shot at the country’s number one post.
Over the weekend, an online news site obtained a leaked manifesto, signalling that it is only a matter of time before Tinubu declares his intention for the presidential seat.
Tagged, “Seven Point Agenda: The Rebirth Manifesto,” the document detailed Tinubu’s plan for Nigeria if elected as the country’s leader.

Sources disclosed to Naija News that Tinubu, a former Lagos State governor, would should declare his presidential ambition officially.
“Our leader (Tinubu) would declare interest in the presidency very soon. We are confident he is the man to take Nigeria forward if you look at what he has been able to achieve both in government and privately,” the source said.
Amid the rumours and speculations, Bola Tinubu has never uttered a word about his interest in the position.
Instead, several groups, including the South West Agenda for Asiwaju (SWAGA), have taken it upon themselves to drum up support for a Tinubu candidacy.

Tinubu’s recent moves, which included a visit to Kano State earlier in the year, have also laid further credence to his presidential ambition.
Observers say it was a bridge-building visit aimed at strengthening ties with the north ahead of the next election.
A former Abia State governor, Orji Uzor Kalu, had recently visited Tinubu, further fueling speculations about his quest to become Buhari’s successor.
Despite the lure of presidential power, and his influence in Nigeria’s political landscape, especially his role in the emergence of President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015, many analysts believe the former Action Congress leader should be a kingmaker instead of the king.
