Speaking with the APC Senate caucus, Mr Tinubu stated that the purpose of the meeting was for him to seek counsel, partnership, and support of the lawmakers for his presidential ambition.
The former Lagos governor explained that he could not do it alone, so, he needed the support of the National Assembly members for him to actualise his dream of becoming the next Nigerian leader.
