The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and presidential hopeful, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will meet with the members of the APC caucus in the House of Representatives on March 16 at the Sheraton Hotel in Abuja.
The former Lagos State governor conveyed his request to the lawmakers via a letter read by the Speaker, Rt Hon Femi Gbajabiamila, during plenary on Tuesday.
He stated that the meeting with the members of the caucus will hold on March 16 at the Sheraton Hotel in Abuja.
The former Senator in the short-lived third republic, declared his intention to run for the 2023 presidency after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in January.
The 69-year- old National Leader of the APC has been making consultation across the country, particularly visiting traditional rulers.
Asiwaju Tinubu, in the letter, informed the lawmakers that after the consultation with friends, traditional leaders and associates, he felt it was the appropriate time to make a bid for the highest office.
“It will be appropriate for me to establish a discourse with members regarding our political and policy ideas for the nation and how we can best bring to the people the security, progress and prosperity they do clearly deserve.
“I want to share my vision for the nation with the caucus members and to hear likewise from them.”
Asiwaju Tinubu appears to enjoy a friendly relationship with the House. The Speaker of the House, Femi Gbajabiamila, is believed to be one of his allies.
While he was hospitalised in London, the Northern Caucus of the House, led by the Majority Leader, Ado Doguwa (APC, Kano), paid him a visit.
