All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has declared that he is more worried about the dire financial situation the country is in, than in contesting the 2023 presidency.

This was part of a statement Tinubu released today, since the APC’s National Working Committee was ousted on Thursday by the National Executive Committee of the party.

Many have seen the sacking of the Oshiomhole-led NWC as a dent to Tinubu’s ambitions for 2023.

“To those who have been actively bleating how the President’s actions and the NEC meeting have ended my purported 2023 ambitions, I seek your pity. I am but a mere mortal who does not enjoy the length of foresight or political wisdom you profess to have. Already, you have assigned colourful epitaphs to the 2023 death of an alleged political ambition that is not yet even born,” he said.

“At this extenuating moment with COVID-19 and its economic fallout hounding us, I cannot see as far into the distance as you. I have made no decision regarding 2023 for the concerns of this hour are momentous enough.”
