Muhammadu Buhari, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), according  TheCable, has conceded the slot of his running mate to Bola Tinubu, national leader of the party.
This has in effect diminished the chances of Chibuike Amaechi, governor of Rivers state, who was all along tipped to be the vice-presidential candidate. Further discussions are going to be held this weekend, but a quick decision may not be reached.
The party still has up till December 18 to submit the name of the nominee to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Buhari’s decision to give Tinubu the slot is apparently based on the voting population of the south-west which he is banking on to upstage the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2015 presidential election.
“Politics is not winner-takes-all. Tinubu worked round the clock to deliver a huge chunk of votes to Buhari in the primary, and it is only fair that he is honoured in return,” an aide to Buhari said.
Tinubu, TheCable can further report, has not foreclosed the choice of anyone as the VP candidate, but he is opposed to Amaechi – although the Rivers governor has made the biggest financial contribution to Buhari’s campaign.
“Rumours that Amaechi has been chosen as the running mate are not true in any form. The running mate will be announced soon.” The chieftain further  said “If the party exco settles for a Muslim/Muslim ticket, Tinubu himself will be the number one choice. If not, then Adams Oshiomhole stands the best chance among the rest.” He ruled out Babatunde Fashola, governor of Lagos, who is also a Muslim installed Oshiomhole, Edo governor, as the odds-on favourite for the running mate slot, slashing his chances from 8/10 to 8/9, while dropping Amaechi’s odds from 9/10 to 5/10. Here is a line-up of the TOP contenders

Have you verified your information properly?If so, then it could be a ploy....

if it happens, I will relocate to Ghana

That was in 1960

waoooooooooo CONGRATS TO APC, CONGRAT THE JAGABAN, CONGRAT TO NIGERIA..

This agreement has been made b/w Buhari & Tinubu b4 the merger of CPC and ACN to form APC. APC stands for something which people refused to understand their mission & vision. Their mission is to return power from the South to the North. About corruption fight they are claiming to fight when voted. Who will make Nigeria corrupt free? Is it Tinubu or someone else. I cry 4 this country

muslim-MUSLIM okay ooo

Na lie

Tinubu to fight corruption and make Naija corrupt free!

Asiwaju is the right person, and will change Nigeria if you voote him.

[size=16pt] Giving Tinubu a slot doesn't mean he picked him to be his running mate....They are two different things @op[/size]

[size=4pt]Don't get it twisted[/size]

I hear fwench

Tragic!

I know he won't want to die young. If only Yaradua had listened and didn't go into the forefront. I hope Tinubu learns cos of his health too.

what a noice way to end corruption

barthchuks:
muslim-MUSLIM okay ooo

bigot!
tinubu has a christian wife!
abacha has a christian driver!

Adminisher:
The OP does not understand English. All the article is saying is that GMB has given Jagaban the job of picking a VP for him based on his wide knowledge of candidates. Simple.
Amaechi, Fashola, Oby, Pantomime, Osinbajo and others are still in the running.

Yes. Well, Tinubu has proven to be perhaps the most clever politician in this current dispensation. Let us see how strategic he will be this time in the choice of a Vice Presidential candidate.

tit:


bigot!
tinubu has a christian wife!
abacha has a christian driver!

is it the wife and the driver that will rule Nigeria?

Hmmmm you even know his driver's religion, I wonder how!
