2023: Tinubu has agreed to pick a Muslim running mate – Ganduje
Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has said that Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has agreed to pick a Muslim as his running mate.
Ganduje disclosed this on Friday during a gathering of about 100 clerics at the Kano state government house as part of activities to mark Eid-El Kabir.
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.”
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.
