Tinubu has agreed to pick Muslim running mate, says Ganduje
Abdullahi Ganduje, Kano governor, says Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, has agreed to pick a Muslim as running mate.
Ganduje said this on Friday during a prayer session with clerics ahead of the Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
“We advised him to pick a Muslim deputy. He has agreed,” Ganduje said.
“A Muslim-Muslim ticket is a reality. It is not something new in Nigeria,” Ganduje added.
He also urged the people to continue to pray for Tinubu.
The development comes amid speculations over who Tinubu would pick as his running mate, as the final deadline for the submission of candidates’ names inches closer.
