Noticeably, the former Executive Governor of Lagos State and a National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, could be considered as one of the leading politicians who have either hinted or declared his intention to vie for the presidential seat of Nigeria, come 2023.
Considerably, the political influence of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu May aid him to perform better, in the 2023 presidential election, provided he is given the presidential ticket of the ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC).
Although, the former Executive Governor of Lagos State and a National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) may not win in all the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria, there are three geopolitical zones that may stand better, in the course of boosting his opportunity to win the next presidential election.
1 Northwest Geopolitical Zone
Northwest geopolitical zone comprising of Kano, Kaduna, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto, Zamfara and Jigawa State could be considered as a stronghold of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
This geopolitical zone may be considered a sure bet for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to win the zone, looking at the popularity of his party, All Progressives Congress (APC) in the region and his personal relationship with most of the executive Governors of the Northwestern states, which is very palatable.
2 Northeast Geopolitical Zone
Except for Bauchi State, even Adamawa State could be considered as Tinubu’s State in the Northeast, if he emerges as the presidential standard bearer of the ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 presidential election.
3 Southwest Geopolitical Zone
Even Oyo State where Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is currently having a sitting Governor may be considered as Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s state, if he should pick the presidential ticket of his party, All Progressives Congress (APC), in 2023.
From Ekiti to Osun; Ondo to Oyo; Ogun to Lagos; their votes may be expected to speak in the favor of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu considering the fact that he is not just from the region, he has positively impacted on the growth and development of the region by assisting to pick cerebral leaders. This region could be considered as a ‘No Go Area’ for other candidates, if Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu picks APC presidential ticket.
