Bola Tinubu's Possible Vice President UNVEILED!!

They have been rumours that the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, may have picked three (3) names as nominations for his vice presidential slot ahead of the 2023 general elections.

According to Daily Trust reports, the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babagana Kingibe, forwarded the names of Muslims to Tinubu for consideration inspite of religious bodies in the country insisting that Tinubu must not go for a muslim northerner as present-day Nigeria appears to be more fragile and religiously sensitive.

Kingibe, who was running mate to late MKO Abiola in the June 12, 1993 presidential election, was said to have forwarded the names to the Kebbi State Governor, Atiku Bagudu, Borno State governor, Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum; the Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, Amina J. Mohammed and a liaison officer to the National Assembly during Olusegun Obasanjo’s first tenure, Kashim Ibrahim-Imam.

The trio are Muslims from the North East geopolitical zone. 

A source close to the presidential candidate said they were shocked when the former SGF forwarded the names.

“It is true that three names have been forwarded by Ambassador Babagana Kingibe to Governor Atiku Bagudu for onward delivery to Tinubu for consideration for the office of the vice president,” he said.

Another source said they were still trying to find out on what grounds Kingibe was nominating anyone.

“Even though he is reportedly part of the cabal, what is in the open is that they have a different candidate for the presidency who did not win… We are therefore appalled that he has nominated some people to Tinubu considering that he is not holding any position. We suspect that he is not alone in the move,” the source said.

Apart from the list which was allegedly sent by Kingibe, there are also speculations that the following names have been picked for Presidential Nominees For The APC. 

1- Governor El-rufai 

2- Sen Shettima

3-Governor Ganduje 

4-Governor Lalong 

5-Hon Yakubu Dogara

6-Boss Mustapha 

7- Governor Bagudu 

We are still waiting for the official announcement as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed June 17, which is Friday as the deadline for the submission of candidates for the presidential positions.
