“It depends on who he is aligning with and his alibi. A tree cannot make a forest, you can be strong in a particular state but what about others.

“However, politics is all about numbers, so i can’t say much about anybody’s chances. No matter the zone you are from you still need to work with other zones because it’s the people that will count.”

Meanwhile, some former and present speakers of State Houses of Assemblies in the Southwest have submitted that Nigeria’s presidency should return to the region in 2023.

The speakers made their view known at a meeting in Ibadan, Oyo State on Wednesday and Thursday which was convened by the Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa.

During the meeting, it was gathered that Obasa specifically noted that Tinubu has not officially declared intention to contest the 2023 presidency but they feel he is the right person for the job, hence the need to begin groundwork ahead of an expected official declaration.

The Lagos Speaker charged others in attendance at the meeting to take the view back to their people and begin laying the foundations as necessary for the actualization of Tinubu’s presidential ambition.
