As sorting of ballots began this morning, former Lagos State Governor Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu catapulted into an early lead in the battle for the All Progressives Congress, APC, 2023 presidential ticket.
As organisers of the party’s presidential primary at Eagle Square sorted two vote boxes, Tinubu’s name came up more frequently.
Tinubu, who had before balloting gotten the endorsement of six aspirants, who stepped down for him, is trailed by former Transportation Minister, Mr Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi; and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
Aspirants who stepped down for Tinubu were Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State; Senator Godswill Akpabio; Professor Ajayi Borroffice; Mr Dimeji Bankole; Senator Ibikunle Amosun; and Mrs Uju Ohanenye.
