Presidential aspirant and former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju  Bola Tinubu today  met 14 governors elected on the platform of the All Progressive Congress (APC)  in Abuja.
Kwara State Governor, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq reportedly  returned from London early this morning to join his colleagues at the meeting.

Tinubu while fielding questions from journalists said he has ‘no son’ that is grown up enough to declare for the  presidency.

The APC National Leader while responding to questions shortly after his meeting with the party’s governors on his presidential aspiration at the  Kebbi State Governors’ Lodge, Asokoro, Abuja, simply said, “I don’t have any son grown up enough to make such declaration.”

He, however, said his meeting with state governors on the platform of the party was to seek collaboration, support and encouragement concerning his 2023 presidential ambition.

At least, 12 of the governors had met Vice President Yemi Osinbajo yesterday  ahead of his declaration. Osinbajo, earlier this morning, formally  declared his intention to contest  the 2023 presidential election.
