2023: Governor Gaduje confirms Muslim-Muslim ticket for Tinubu
Recall that Legit.ng had earlier reported recently that the governor of Kano state, Abdullahi Ganduje, had hinted that Tinubu will be opting for a Muslim running mate.
Tinubu had picked Alhaji Kabir Ibrahim Masari, a Katsina politician, as a placeholder in order to meet up with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) deadline.
Ganduje while speaking with about 100 clerics at the state Government House as part of activities to mark the Sallah festival said Tinubu was advised to pick a Muslim running mate.
“We have advised him to pick a Muslim deputy and he has agreed. A Muslim-Muslim ticket is a reality. It is not something new in Nigeria," the Kano governor said.
