Running-Mate Scarcity: Stop Mounting Pressure On Tinubu - Agbomhere by SATANICALLY666: 8:56pm On Jun 18, 2022
The chairman of the Forum of All Progressives Congress (APC) Organising Secretaries, Dr Blessing Agbomhere, has advised Nigerians to desist from mounting pressure on the party’s presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the choice of his running mate.

He said the APC standard bearer should be given the freedom to choose whoever he prefers as a running mate.

Agbomhere, who is also the Zonal APC Secretary for South-south, said a situation where leaders of some political groups and religious organisations are mounting pressure to influence the choice of one of their own does not augur well for the nation’s democracy.

The APC chieftain in a statement in Abuja on Saturday argued it is well within the constitutional rights of Tinubu to pick his running mate irrespective of the religious affiliation of the person he chooses.

He pointed out what Nigerians should be interested in is the candidate and political party that will bring desired development to the country and not whether Tinubu would run for the presidency on a Muslim-Muslim, Christian-Christian or any other combination of religious faiths.

Agbomhere said: “The emergence of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the Presidential Candidate of our great party, the All Progressives Congress has received wide acclaim, support and acceptance.

“All we need to do is to focus on winning the 2023 presidential election as a party and our victory will depend on our ability to carry Nigerians along. We cannot afford to lose focus by being distracted by who Tinubu may decide to choose as his running mate.

“The solution to the challenges confronting Nigeria does not rest on whether the running mate to Tinubu is Christain or Muslim.

“Nigerians are not interested in who becomes running mate to any of the presidential candidates. What they need is good governance that would guarantee security, stable polity and social-economic progress.

“Nobody can carry a pass to the market based on Muslim-Muslim or Christian-Christian tickets for Asiwaju or any other Presidential candidate and get food items free.

“They only need a ticket that would guarantee the availability of products and economic empowerment to meet their needs.

“We are ready to support and vote for Tinubu irrespective of who he chooses as his running mate and we will work to ensure that Nigerians do the same.”

Tinubu has no moral justification for running a Muslim-Muslim Ticket:

APC is blessed with an abundance of Northern Christians to choose from, namely:

Mr, Simon Bako Lalung

Mr. Boss Mustapha

Mr. Yakubu Dogara

Her Excellency, Dame Pauline Kedem Tallen

Tinubu only wants to grab power. He is not prepared.
Before one congested and won the primaries, and an old member of a rulling party, you have known who and who will fill certain positions.
If I become the president today, I know who and who will be my VP, ministers etc.
It took pa Buhari almost a year to appointment ministers who later turned out to be ineffective except 2

To those accusing Tinubu of being indecisive, you need to study politics. Politics involves giving and taking (horse-trading). You don't take unilateral decisions without "carrying others along."

The choice for VP is Kashim Shettima. However, the Northwest Governors are feeling left out and Tinubu needs to address their concerns. Also, the President is not comfortable directly with a Muslim-Muslim ticket without needed concessions being made to the Christians in APC so as to maintain unity and cohesion, so a sharing formular is being worked out.

This is why a substantive VP nominee has not been unveiled.

APC is not PDP who unveiled their VP nominee without due consultations with all stakeholders which is now leading to fractions within the party.

My comment on a separate thread. There is no confusion or "scarcity"

Why should that not matter? He should pick another Yoruba now, at least Fashola is there.

If Osinbajo was the candidate contemplating picking the "best" Christians, sebi riot would have started in Kano and Sokoto, burning churches and businesses

It is not that simple. Election is all about votes and numbers. Irrespective of the sentiments we all share, it is clear that Muslims form the major voting block in the North....at least 70%-80%.

Being a Muslim minority from the South and choosing a Christian minority from the North is political suicide.

You wanted the position, now the corresponding challenge to that position don take over your head and you are now trying to be secretive on your choice of a running mate.

you claimed Tinubu is very popular in the north so why wont he be man enough to go head to head with a northern son since it's about the main contender?

You bring religion into it, is Tinubu not a Muslim too or is his own Islam contraband

It's good you admit it's about what north gets in return, I don't expect you to still believe the VP Muslim is equal to a Fulani president
