Abdullahi Ganduje, the governor of Kano State, suggested on Friday that Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC’s presidential candidate, had decided to run on a Muslim-Muslim ticket for the 2023 elections.
When some religious leaders paid him a visit during the Eid El Kabir festivities at the Government House in Kano, Ganduje gave them the clue.
Many Nigerians especially from the Southern part of the country had cautioned the party against picking two candidates of the same faith ahead of next year’s election.
He said: “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.”
Ganduje asked the religious leaders to pray for Tinubu’s victory in the 2023 elections.
He also advised them to pray for peace and progress during his administration.
