Nigeria’s Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has said he is running for President of his home.
The Ex-Governor of Lagos State stated this while distancing himself from vying for the presidency in 2023.
Fashola disclosed this when asked by a journalist on his plans for the presidency in 2023.
This was disclosed in a tweet by President Muhammadu Buhari’s Special Assistant on Digital/New Media.
Fashola said he would return to his family at the end of his service as a minister.
The tweet reads: “A journalist asks BRF about 2023
“A: I’m running for the President of my home. I’m going to Lagos. My wife and children are waiting for their President. All those who want to run, I wish them the very best of luck… For those looking for headlines, I have disappointed you.”
The general election will take place in 2023.
There have been speculations that the former Lagos governor will run for President.
