A former Lagos State gubernatorial aspirant, Abayomi Mumuni has said the recent defeat suffered by the All Progressive Congress, APC in the 2022 governorship poll will not affect the changes of the presidential candidate of the party, Bola Tinubu in 2023.
Mumuni, a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State, stated this on Tuesday.
He, however, said the APC has learnt its lesson and regretted that the APC lost the election.
The APC chieftain a statement made available to newsmen said: “It was very sad that we lost Osun State to the PDP. Though we gave a good fight, I believe important lessons have been learnt going forward.
“However, it is very narrow-minded for people to think that the Osun election will affect the chances of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in his presidential bid. I have read such commentaries; I find them laughable and uninformed.
“The presidential election is a different ball game. It is about different personalities. The dynamics will also be different.

“The PDP should not have the illusion that the Osun scenario automatically means a win for them in the forthcoming presidential election. Asiwaju Tinubu is a factor across the country, and he garners votes from across the party, religious lines.”
