President Buhari Endorses Tinubu As APC Presidential Candidate For 2023 Elections

Abuja, Nigeria – In a surprising move, the outgoing Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari, has taken to Twitter to endorse the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in the upcoming general elections.

In his tweet, President Buhari stated that he is not a contestant in the forthcoming election, but his party, APC, has a capable candidate in Tinubu. He called on all Nigerians to vote for the former Lagos State Governor, who he described as reliable and a true believer in Nigeria.

“I am calling on all of you to vote for @officialABAT. He is reliable, a true believer in Nigeria, and he will build on our achievements,” the tweet read.

Tinubu, a prominent politician in Nigeria, has been touted as one of the favorites to succeed Buhari as president. He is widely regarded as the political godfather of Lagos state, and his influence has extended to other parts of the country.

The endorsement by President Buhari, who is also a member of the APC, is seen as a significant boost for Tinubu’s campaign, as the president remains a popular figure in the country.

Reacting to the endorsement, Tinubu expressed his appreciation to the president, saying that he was honored to have his support.

“I am deeply humbled and honored by the endorsement of our great President @MBuhari. I am grateful for his belief in me and my abilities, and I promise to work tirelessly to build on the achievements of his administration,” Tinubu tweeted.

The Nigerian general elections are scheduled to take place in 2023, and several candidates have already indicated their interest in running for the presidency. However, with President Buhari’s endorsement, Tinubu’s chances of emerging as the APC candidate have been significantly boosted.

Nigerians are eagerly anticipating the outcome of the upcoming elections, as they look to elect a leader who will build on the progress made by the current administration and steer the country towards greater development and prosperity.
