The national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, hosted Ade Omole, leader of the United Kingdom (UK) chapter of the party and the Nigeria Diaspora for Asiwaju (NDA) team in London.
AbdulRasaq Danjuma, Omole’s Personal Assistant, made this known in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Abuja.
The meeting was held to consult with the NDA and “critical APC stakeholders” in the UK on Tinubu’s 2023 presidential aspiration.
Danjuma debunked media speculations stating that, Tinubu was hale and healthy.
“Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is in good health and excellent spirits”, he said.
According to him, Omóle briefed Tinubu on progressive activities in the UK and other issues pertaining to national development back home, also on how patriotic Nigerians in the Diaspora were helping out from their countries of residence to ensure a better Nigeria for all.
“Progressives in the UK had been collaborating with other patriotic Nigerians globally to work hand in glove with their counterparts in Nigeria to promote peace, unity and development”.
“We are working round the clock to support the President Muhammadu Buhari APC-led administration and contribute our quota to taking Nigeria to the next level,” Omole said.
He said the meeting with the APC national leader espoused the commitment of the Nigerian Diaspora community to nation-building.
The Director-General of NDA, Akin Badeji, also in the statement, relayed ongoing activities both in the Diaspora and in Nigeria to ensure the actualization of a Tinubu presidency in 2023, adding that the group would not relent until its desires were met.
The meeting was attended by Joseph Adebola, Kenny Ojutalayo, Oladapo Habeeb, Edith Nwachukwu, Rakiya Abubakar, Ronke Tomori and Lanre Adegun among other APC critical members in the UK.
NAN reports that Tinubu had travelled abroad to attend to some meetings regarding his political ambition shortly after informing President Buhari of his aspiration and intention to contest the 2023 presidential election.
