Former All Progressives Congress (APC) interim chairman Bisi Akande has revealed that he counselled President Bola Tinubu to contest for the president in 2023.

Akande revealed that he went back to his village in Ila, Osun State, after Tinubu was elected president.

Akande disclosed in an interview with Edmund Obilo that Tinubu had voiced worries about his absence from Abuja.

Akande claims that although he may not always meet Tinubu, he does occasionally travel to Abuja.

Akande 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.”
