Northern leaders are currently divided over Bola Tinubu's perceived presidential ambition.
Last two weeks, Tinubu said he may be running for office but didn't state which office he'll vie for. It is widely believed that Tinubu will run for President.
Speaking in an interview with Saturday Sun, a former Vice Chancellor, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria and member of Northern Elders Forum, Professor Ango Abdullahi, said, “I’m really surprised that a leader or somebody who is called a national leader of the party in power and not only party in power but with a President on seat that is less than two years old in position of leadership, he is himself talking about his ambition in 2019. There is nothing wrong in ambition. Of course, Bola Tinubu had always had ambition. It was his ambition that made him become governor of Lagos State. So, that is alright.
