By Marvellous Nyang<\/p>\n

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has named Kabiru Masari as his running mate for the 2023 elections, a party chieftain, Kabiru Faskari, has said.<\/p>\n

Faskari disclosed this on Friday, during an interview on Channels TV’s political documentary programme, “Politics Today.”<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIbrahim Kabiru Masari is our Vice Presidential nominee. He was the Welfare Secretary of the APC under Oshiomhole (former national chairman of the party). He is a well-known politician in Kaduna State and his name has been submitted.<\/p>\n

Explaining further, Faskari said that picking Kabiru, an indigene of Katsina State, “does not violate the country\u2019s laws as against the clamour for a Muslim\/Christian APC ticket.”<\/p>\n

As he said, Kabiru is experienced, close to Tinubu, and will not have a problem working with the former Lagos State governor.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is young; he represents the youths and is grounded in politics and was even a national official of the APC. He is quite close to the presidential candidate and has been with him for a very long time. It is a very informed decision to put out his name,\u201d Faskari said.<\/p>\n

According to him, the decision to select Masari followed wide consultations and that the party needs a person from a region with a large voting population.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it was the decision of the presidential candidate after due diligence,\u201d Faskari said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, it is being speculated that the APC is putting Masari’s name forward as a “placeholder” to beat the June 17 deadline set by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for presidential candidates to submit the names of their running mates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
