Bola Tinubu Running Mate

The APC chieftain stated this in Abuja while delivering his keynote address at the 60th birthday celebration of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Femi Gbajabiamila.

Tinubu applauded the strides of Gbajabiamila for his contributions to his political ambition, adding that he needs to learn from him and the deputy speaker, Idris Wase, because he was still searching for a running mate.

He said, “I could see a Deputy (Wase) sitting down there too, you are very good symbols of unity, dependability, and honesty, thank you.

“Thank you for both of you, you’ve not rocked the boat. I will need to learn from both of you, how you made the pair work because I’m still searching for my running mate.

“What you did during my primary (APC presidential election) is a story for another day. I’ve spent more time, too many times and people might be bored, they might be envious too, they might be jealous. I won a landslide, I thank you.

“Femi, with your determination, and reach, you are a contributor to our democratic growth, thank you. It is about charting a path to success, you’ve done a good job and I say thank you, thank you.”

KanyiDaily recalls that Bola Tinubu had named Kabiru Masari the “placeholder” for the position of the vice-presidential candidate until a final name is submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC ).
