Tinubu said this in response to former Secretary-General of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, who questioned his chances of winning the next year presidential election.
Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has boasted that he will win the general elections in 2023 because he has never lost an election before.
Tinubu said this in response to former Secretary-General of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, who questioned his chances of winning the next year presidential election.
Meanwhile, Tinubu in 2007 led former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar’s presidential campaign to failure then under the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN).
Also in 2011, Tinubu failed in Nuhu Ribadu’s presidential bid when Ribadu contested under same party – ACN.
It was earlier reported that Lawal said Tinubu could not win the 2023 presidential election with a Muslim-Muslim ticket.
The former SGF claimed that the APC flag bearer disregarded Northern Christians by opting for a Muslim running mate
In his response, Tinubu dismissed the former SGF's remarks as mere speculation.
Tinubu spoke through the APC Presidential Campaign Council's Director of Media and Publicity, Bayo Onanuga.
He emphasised that Lawal's remarks were ridiculous projections.
Tinubu said he would win the presidential election with the support of APC and President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Mere conjectures, very laughable projections. Asiwaju has never been on the ballot and lost any election. With 22 states under APC control, with the incumbent President’s backing, Asíwájú is heading for a landslide victory.”
