The source disclosed that Tinubu would make the name of the candidate public this week.

The two-term former governor of Lagos State won APC’s presidential ticket at the party’s June 8 special national convention and presidential primary election.

After the election, the APC National Leader 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.

He later chose Ibrahim Kabiru Masari as the APC’s “placeholder” vice-presidential candidate.

Tinubu was away in France from June 27 on a short vacation during which he held some strategic meetings.

He, however, returned to Nigeria in the early hours of Saturday.
