Governor Nasir El-Rufai on Friday said Bola Tinubu should be free to pick a Muslim vice-presidential candidate because he took a similar political decision in Kaduna that paid off.
“In my state, I picked a very competent, qualified woman as my running mate in the 2019 elections,” Mr El Rufai said on Channels Television Friday night. “Just because she happens to be a Muslim, people are calling it a Muslim-Muslim ticket and said we were going to lose. We didn’t. We won overwhelmingly.”
