Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reacted to the news that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has declared his candidacy for President of Nigeria in 2023.
A few hours after Osinbajo announced his candidacy for president in 2023, the 70-year-old statesman held an emergency meeting with 17 governors in Abuja.
Following a meeting with governors, the presidential hopeful for 2023 had a press interview.
When pressed about his comments regarding his political “son” declaring for the presidency, he said, “I have no son grown enough to declare.”
