On Friday during a gathering of about 100 clerics at the Kano state government house as part of activities to mark Eid-El Kabir, Ganduje talks about Tinubu’s running mate.
Governor
Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has said Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential
candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has agreed to pick a Muslim
as his 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’s not something new in Nigeria.”
Ganduje
also asked the clerics to pray for Tinubu to emerge as Nigeria’s next president
in 2023.
Tinubu
had, in June this year, emerged as the APC’s presidential flag bearer.
The former
Lagos State governor scored 1,271 votes to defeat his closest contenders,
Rotimi Amaechi, who pulled 316 votes and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who
scored 235 votes.
