Ganduje: Tinubu has settled for a Muslim as running mate
The governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje, announced on Friday that Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC’s presidential candidate, had consented to choose a Muslim as his running mate.
According to Channels TV, the governor made the remark at an event for over 100 clerics held at the Kano state government house to celebrate Eid El Kabir.
“We have advised him to pick a Muslim deputy and he has agreed,” Mr Ganduje said.
“A Muslim-Muslim ticket is a reality. It is not something new in Nigeria.”
Mr Ganduje asked the clerics to pray for Tinubu to emerge as Nigeria’s president come 2023.
He also urged them to offer prayers for his administration’s peace and progress.
Mr Ganduje asked the clerics to pray for his Deputy Governor, Yusuf Gawuna, who emerged as the APC governorship candidate in Kano State for 2023 elections.
