Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje says that the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has agreed to pick a Muslim as running mate.
Since parties concluded their presidential primaries, there have been concerns and arguments over the alleged plan by the APC flagbearer, who is a Muslim, to field a running mate who is of the same religion as him.
Amid the concerns, Tinubu had picked Kabir Ibrahim Masari, a Katsina politician, as a placeholder in order to meet up with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) deadline.
During a prayer session with clerics on Friday ahead of the Eid-el-Kabir celebration, Ganduje said Tinubu was advised to pick a Muslim running mate.
He said, “We have advised him (Tinubu) to pick a Muslim deputy and he has agreed. A Muslim-Muslim ticket is a reality. It is not something new in Nigeria.”
The governor also urged the clerics to pray fervently for Tinubu to emerge victorious in next year’s presidential election.
