Amid speculations that he would be vying for Presidency, National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has reportedly opened his campaign headquarters in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja ahead of the 2023 Presidential elections.
According to a source, the 2,700 square metres property is located in Maitama and it once housed a private school (Eagle Heights International Schools) 2, Kainji Crescent, Abuja. Also, it was reported that the property was secured for two years at N15 million per annum.
Though there were no immediate signs from outside that the property holds Tinubu’s campaign office, but sources said activities have been intensified inside for the former Lagos governor’s presidential aspirations.
Sources said the campaign may still move to a location in downtown neighborhoods like Garki, Central Area, or Wuse, depending on how activities expand ahead of primaries and general elections. It was also gathered that a federal lawmaker, Abiodun Faleke is a key coordinator of the new campaign office and will likely play a top role in Mr Tinubu’s run.
Meanwhile, Sources said Tinubu will have stiff competition in the APC field from the likes of Governor Kayode Fayemi, former Governor Ibikunle Amosun, Rotimi Amaechi and Godswill Akpabio, although neither has publicly disclosed an interest in the race.
