“As for the three outgoing governors, two may represent their geopolitical zones, depending on the outcome of consultations between the President and leaders from their zones.”

“No fewer than 15 ministers are said to be seeking a second chance because some of them who faltered in office are claiming that they have learnt their lessons."

Vanguard reports that Senate president Bukola Saraki said the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has continued to attack him because of the latter's 2023 presidential ambition.

According to Saraki, Tinubu is supporting Ahmad Lawan for Senate president and Femi Gbajabiamila for House of Representatives speaker ahead of the ninth National Assembly because of his presidential ambition.

A statement on Monday, April 22, by Saraki’s special adviser, media and publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, read: “Let us repeat again that we know that a Machiavellian politician like Tinubu will forever agonize over his erroneous belief that Dr. Saraki frustrated his ambition from becoming running mate to President Muhammadu Buhari through a Muslim-Muslim ticket in 2015.

"In his usual cavalier manner, he will stop at nothing to punish Saraki for that. We know that this attack is not about the interest of the nation or that of President Muhammadu Buhari. It is about his 2023 ambition and it is obvious in the statement as he struggled to explain this away."
