By our reporter| The presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has said that his choice for a running mate is in his pocketbook.
The former Lagos state governor also stated that he is ready to take over from President Muhammadu Buhari, even as he reeled out some of his attributes.
Pressed by reporters on his choice of running mate shortly after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the state house on Thursday, Tinubu said, “I won’t tell you that. That is my right, it’s in my pocketbook.”
He also praised the president for not “tinkering” with the presidential primary, adding that Buhari showed that he is trustworthy by not endorsing any of the presidential hopefuls.
He said, “He promised the entire country and the world that he will build a legacy of transparency and consistency, the legacy of a level playing ground for all the candidates, that he will be committed to democratic principles and values and he did so.”
“He did not endorse anybody, he did not impose anybody, and he did not at any time attempt to tinker with the process of this election to favour one tribe or the other. He was steadfast, trustworthy, dependable, and a great leader.
“It is not my victory that is important, it is the process and management of that election that gave it to President Muhammadu Buhari.”
Tinubu further stated he is ready to take over the mantle from Buhari while reeling out some of his attributes.
