Publisher of Ovation International Magazine, Dele Momodu, has dropped a big hint that the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), could run for presidency in 2023.

There have been speculations that Tinubu could throw his hat in the ring in the next elections, although the former Lagos Governor has repeatedly denied such ambitions.

However, Momodu tweeted a picture of Tinubu in Saudi Arabia, along with the caption: “Nigeria’s next President in 2023? The race has started…

“Best wishes to one of Nigeria’s most influential politicians ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU…”

Tinubu, on Monday, met with President Muhammadu Buhari in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, where he “appealed to elderly Nigerians to avoid inflammatory statements, that could undermine peaceful co-existence among the nation’s diverse communities”.
