2023 presidency: Tinubu asks Atiku to step down and endorse him

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Tinubu asked Atiku to step down and endorse him (Tinubu) ahead of the 2023 general elections.

The APC presidential candidate stated this on Monday, October 17, during an interactive session with northern leaders under the umbrella of the Arewa Joint Committee in Kaduna.

Explaining the reason behind his statement, Tinubu asked Atiku to reciprocate the “gesture” he gave to him when he contested for the presidency in 2007 under the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) by dropping his ambition and endorsing him.
