The Jagaban has set the pace, and others are already lagging behind. Today the former Lagos State Governor was the first to submit his nomination form with over 570 delegates across the 36 States of the federation and the FCT endorsing his presidential form.

This total substantially exceeds the 370 delegates necessary by law throughout the 36 states and the FCT. The signatories included 12 APC governors, as well as other statutory delegates.

So now you understand why I believe Tinubu is “too hot to handle”. All other presidential candidates are currently scrambling for statutory delegates, running Kiti Kata in serious search.

While others were speculating and propagating conspiracy ideas, the Jagaban’s team, commanded by Northern political heavyweights and including the ever dogged Hon Abiodun James Faleke and others, were busy planning with the delegates.

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu led other supporters to submit the presidential nomination and expression of interest forms of the All Progressives Congress for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

The completed forms were submitted to the party at the International Conference Centre, Abuja on Wednesday.

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation Babachir Lawal who obtained the forms also returned it on behalf of the national leader of the party.

Others who attended included TETFUND Chairman, Alhaji Kashim Ibrahim-Imam, Senator Abu Ibrahim, former House of Representatives Speaker Yakubu Dogara, former EFCC chairman Nuhu Ribadu, Chief Pius Akinyelure, Hon. Seriki Adar, Hon. James Faleke, Hon. Jimmy Benson, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, GAC members like Alhaji Mutiu Areh, Chief James Odumbaku and members of Lagos cabinet.

Tinubu’s nomination form was signed by 420 registered memebers. 370 of the 420 are statutory delegates and 12 of them are sitting governors.

A delegation of Tinubu’s supporters had also picked the form for him on April 30.
