Governor Umar Ganduje of Kano State has said the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, has agreed to pick a Muslim vice-presidential candidate.
Channels TV reports that he made the comment during a gathering of about 100 clerics at the Kano State government house as part of activities to mark Eid El Kabir.
“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,” he said.
Mr Ganduje asked the clerics to pray for Tinubu to emerge as Nigeria’s president come 2023.
