The Star had reported that the APC’s presidential standard-bearer departed Abuja after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa.

Tinubu, according to his spokesman, Tunde Rahman, left for France to hold some important meetings.

On June 8, the APC National Leader emerged as the party’s presidential candidate for the February 25, 2023, election at the party’s presidential primaries/national convention held at the Eagle Square, Abuja.

After the election, he immediately embarked on a series of thank you and reconciliation visits to those who contested against him at the party’s primaries including the seven aspirants who stepped down for him.
