The APC National Leader was received by the APC Senators as led by the President of the Senate, Senator Ahmad Lawan in room 301.

Tinubu who hailed the National Assembly for sustaining the nation’s democracy, said that the interest of women is necessary, adding that APC is doing its best to include the interest of women.

I want to step into President Muhammadu Buhari’s shoes not on his toes – Bola Tinubu

The former Lagos governor asked the lawmakers to back his ambition, urging them to consider his “experience and capacity”.

“I came for your counsel, partnership and support. I believe that you can back me for my lifetime ambition,” he said.

“Nigeria has come to a point where we need a change of baton. Mr President is rounding up his second term.

“I told Mr President that my ambition is not blind to the extent that I will step on his toes. I just want to step into his shoes and not on his toes.

“I want to beg you to look at my capacity and my experience. I am perhaps the only one who has been in the Senate, who has been a governor and aspiring to become President.

He called on the senators to support him to realise “the aspiration of my lifetime ambition”.
