Publisher of Ovation Magazine, Dele Momodu, has backed national leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu to become Nigeria’s president in 2023.

President Muhammadu Buhari’s second term in office ends in four years.

With the politics surrounding his successor yet to unfold, media guru Momodu has thrown his weight behind Mr Tinubu.

He made this known in a Tweet on Monday evening.

Alongside a picture of Tinubu, he wrote “Nigeria’s next President in 2023? The race has started.

“Best wishes to one of the most influential politicians.”
