Bisi Akande Reveals What He Did After Advising Bola Tinubu To Become President

Bisi Akande has revealed what he did after advising Bola Tinubu to become President.

Newsone Nigeria reports that a former interim chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bisi Akande, has disclosed that he advised President Bola Tinubu to run for the presidency in 2023.

The former interim APC chairman disclosed that after Tinubu emerged president, he returned to his village in Ila, Osun State, southwest Nigeria, in an interview with Edmund Obilo.

Akande revealed that Tinubu had expressed concerns over his absence in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, noting that he occasionally visits Abuja, but may not always meet Tinubu.

The former APC interim chairman said: “My goal originally was for a Yoruba man to become president, and my choice was Tinubu. After he won, I was happy and returned to my village in Ila, Osun State.

“When he came back, I met him, and he said, ‘Baba, you asked me to run, I did, and became president, but now you (Akande) are running away.’

“It’s true! I went back to my village because I don’t want to be a minister or take any other thing.”
