The National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and a Presidential aspirant on the platform of the party, Bola Ahmed Tinubu says it is his turn to be the country’s next president after 25 year of helping political leaders, including President Buhari and Vice President Osinbajo succeed politically.

Asiwaju boasted that he succeeded   in making President Muhammadu Buhari and the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo the country’s President and Vice President.

Tinubu said he has served majority of notable Nigerians at different levels of governments in the nation, hence his turn to be president.

He made the revelation when he visited the APC party delegates in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital on Thursday ahead of Presidential primary.

The former governor of Lagos State also disclosed that the Ogun state governor Dapo Abiodun wouldn’t have become governor without his support.

His words “If not for me Buhari cannot become President. After making three attempt and failed, he had almost given up when I went to meet him in Kastina and promised to get him to presidency on condition that he would not forget the Yoruba race and ever since he has been the president, I didn’t get ministerial post nor demand any contact from him. I have protected my children enough, it’s time for me.

“In 2015, Buhari asked me to write three names for Vice People but Insisted that I would write only one name so I wrote Osinbajo’s name and he was made him the VP. That’s the truth of the matter that I haven’t made revealed before. I did this because I wanted a stand for the Yorubaland and up till now I and Osinbajo are not enemies.”

“I have been doing this for a long time now it’s time for me to be the president. When Atiku and Nuhu Ribadu were in trouble with Obasanjo I stood for them. It’s been over 25 years that I have been serving these people. Even this one (pointing to Dapo Abiodun) sitting behind me, I made him the governor.

In the entourage of Tinubu were; the governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Governor of Kano state, Abdulai Ganduje, former governor of Borno state, Kashim Settima, Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa and a host of others.
