Former Minister of State for Works, Senator Dayo Adeyeye, says National Leader of All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is in pole position to clinch the party’s presidential ticket.
Adeyeye, who is the National Chairman, South West Agenda for 2023 (SWAGA ’23), stated this Tuesday at the official launching of the political movement in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State.
According to him, Tinubu remains the best candidate to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari, based on experience and political networks.

“And if the ticket comes to the South, the fact that the Southwest had produced the President before won’t prevent the Yoruba race from getting the APC ticket.
“You could all remember that the late President Umaru Yar’Adua was from Katsina state and when the ticket went back to the North in 2007, they picked President Muhammadu Buhari from Katsina. They didn’t say his state has produced a President before.
“What we need in Nigeria is someone like Asiwaju Tinubu, who knows everybody. Someone, who has planted and nurtured people across all the zones, someone, who believes in making stars to unite Nigeria,” Adeyeye said.
