Governor of Ondo State, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, who is also Chairman of the Southern Governors’ Forum has said the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Southern Nigeria is waiting for the return of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu from London to take important decisions.
Akeredolu, while maintaining that the next President of Nigeria should come from the Southern region, made this known during an interview on Arise Television.
Speaking on his visit to Tinubu and the 2023 elections, Akeredolu said his visit to Tinubu in the United Kingdom has nothing to do with the 2023 election.
“APC is a party. APC will decide who the candidate will be. I have made the point everywhere; I’m going nowhere. I’m not going to leave APC. If I leave APC, I am going back to my chamber where I am more comfortable. For me, whatever APC decides, I will follow.
“We went to visit our national leader and I was there, because there were a lot of rumours here and there, it was important for us to go and see for ourselves, and I was there, I have seen for myself and there is nothing alarming about his health.
“We are praying that he returns back on time, He’s the capo for us here in the south west and south south. So we are waiting for him to come, so that by the time he comes, we can make some important decisions and he’ll support us,” he said.
