Just recently, it has been gathered from a reliable source that the APC stalwart, Bola Tinubu had a consultation with the State Council of traditional rulers at the Council’s Chambers, Old Governor’s Office before he paid a courtesy visit to Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, Oba Rufus Adejugbe in his palace.
It was gathered that the former Governor was accompanied to the meeting by Deputy Governor Otunba Bisi Egbeyemi and high ranking members of the Southwest Agenda 2023 for Tinubu Presidential ambition led by Senator Dayo Adeyeye. Addressing the traditional rulers, Tinubu said he was in the State purposely to consult traditional rulers and seek their prayers and support for the 2023 elections.
It will interest you to note that Bola Tinubu while speaking on Thursday during a consultation with members of the Ekiti traditional council in Ado-Ekiti, said he is in the 2023 presidential race to bring hope to the people and effect the changes the country desires.

From all indications, Tinubu keeps making more consultations ahead of all other presidential aspirants. Analysts have opined that Osinbajo is a better option than Tinubu, but it will interest you to note that until now, Osinbajo has not declared whether he will be contesting for the exalted position. More so, he has not been making serious consultations like his godfather Tinubu. From all indications, it seems that Tinubu may eventually become the presidential flag bearer of the APC.
