2023: Forget your ambitions, support the President — Oshiomhole to Tinubu, El-Rufai

We are still some way off to the next general elections in 2023, however, political parties and interested members are already hard at work as posters are reportedly being sighted across the country.



To the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), however, focus should be on delivering good governance to Nigerians rather than 2023 elections.

The party's chairman Adams Oshiomhole said this in Abuja on Thursday at a Reconciliation Meeting with the party’s stakeholders and aggrieved governorship aspirants from Bayelsa.




Oshiomhole said he is not a party to campaign posters of Bola Tinubu, Gov. Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State and the APC National Chairman, as sighted in some parts of the country ahead of the 2023 poll.


He also adviced members of the party who may have ambitions to vie for the number one seat in the country to pocket their ambitions and instead, focus on helping President Muhammadu Buhari deliver good governance to Nigerians.

“I want to completely disassociate myself and members of our party from all those posters.



“We believe that these are the handwork of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who think that they can create suspicion within the rank of APC by using some elements to print posters to create complete diversion.

“So, I stand here as National Chairman of APC not only to deny those posters as they affect me but to deny those posters as they affect any leader of our party because it is not yet time,” Oshiomhole said.


According to him, even people who may have ambition are aware that this is not the time.

“At this point in time all hands must be on deck to support President Muhammadu Buhari and all our state governors in their respective states to work together unanimously to deliver deliverables for the good of our people in the states and at the Federal level.”
