Tinubu dismisses Mulsim running mate rumour, insists on northern Christian
The All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, has dismissed the story of picking a Muslim as his running mate.
Tinubu, who condemned such insinuations, said he intends to pick a Northern Christian as his running mate.
Tinubu was addressing journalists at the APC governorship rally in Ekiti State yesterday.
Tinubu distanced himself from the position, dismissing carriers of the rumour as undemocratic elements that are already threatened at his imminent victory in the coming presidential election.
“The VP slot belongs to the Northeastern region and particularly the Christians, but consultations are yet ongoing as to who will be decided,” he said.
Tinubu assured Nigerians that no group, institution or person can impose a running mate on him.
