Tinubu still searching for running mate, will substitute Masari – Campaign spokesman

The presidential flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress, Asíwájú Bola Tinubu, has officially returned his completed nomination forms to the Independent National Electoral Commission.

Tinubu had defeated former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi; Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and 12 others to clinch the APC sole presidential ticket at the party’s national convention.

However, the national leader of the APC on Wednesday signed and personally returned the forms two days ahead of schedule as stipulated by the electoral law and INEC guidelines and timetable.

The development was confirmed by Tinubu’s media spokesman, Tunde Rahman, on Friday.

The statement read, “We wish to reiterate that HE Asíwájú Tinubu now stands ready to contest the February 25, 2023 presidential election to deliver progressive good governance to our people,” he said.

Asked to comment on who was chosen as the running mate of the former Lagos State governor, Rahman disclosed that he cannot speak on it.

He, however, gave an assurance that the name will be officially ‘announced later.’

“Asiwaju completed the forms and signed. He had to return himself. His running mate will be announced later,” he said.

Efforts made to reach the APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, to confirm if a surrogate’s name has been filed for Tinubu’s running mate proved abortive.

When contacted, Director of Tinubu Campaign Organisation, Bayo Onanuga also told our correspondent that Masari was the name submitted to the INEC.

“Yes, he is Ibrahim Masari. He once worked as a member of the National Working Committee when Adams Oshimhole was in charge of the APC excos.

“He is not really a surrogate per se. He is just holding forth. The electoral act stipulates that candidates have the window period to substitute up till sometime in August.

“Asiwaju will use that time to continue consulting with the party, governors and the president. He is taking his time and doesn’t want to rush it,” he said.

When asked why it is taking too long to get a competent and sellable candidate for the post of the vice president, Onanuga said that the PC flagbearer believes in due process.


“He just wants to carry everybody along. Even the elections will take place in 2023 and the campaign wouldn’t start until September. The window period is still long. There is no need to rush anything about it.

“I think we have fulfilled our own part by submitting the name as required before the window of INEC deadline closes,” he said.

Tinubu, Obi, going no where. Nigeria is a failed colonial project now under Fulani control.

Of course,
Masari is a place holder.

The name of the running mate will be make public in time.


BAT is coming

All these presidential aspirants are not even ready. Tinubu is hiding his own aspirant. Nigerians, what else will Tinubu hide when he becomes your president if he has to hide just a VP?
If you vote Tinubu, you vote for retrogression. You go still suffer the consequences.

Spearman "Tinubu, Obi, going no where. Nigeria is a failed colonial project now under Fulani control."

To your point,Tinubu is not going nowhere, and I agree 100%
Mr. Tinubu is very indecisive person--something that led President Buhari to fail. Nigeria dose not need someone who is slow in decision making because it can lead to loss of lives. We have seen many loss of lives under OBJ, Yar'Adua, Goodluck Jonathan and Buhari for been indecisive in national security policy. That is terrible

So, I am so glad all Nigerians have witnessed what kind of President Mr. Tinubu would be if, and God forbid, he gets elected. What Nigeria needs now is a president who is very decisive in decision making. When enemies and terror groups like Boko Haram and IPOD notice weakness in the President of Nigeria, they exploit it to the detriment of Nigerians--leading to loss of lives.

Right now, Atiku Abubakar is the man to beat. That is because he tickets all the boxes correctly, beginning with his selection of Ifeanyi Okowa as VP.

Nigeria is in dare need of rescue, every youth must rise up to this call for the sake of our children and generations yet unborn.

Yes yes yes

Some criminal elements were attacking Labour Party Peter Obi yesterday after Okupe announced himself as the VP holding.

Those miscreants will be punished by angel Michael.

Peter is master of this game.


Nigerians prepare for Peter Obi is coming......

Confusion!
Bring a Muslim problem, bring a Christian north wahala,
APC in a very big dilemma.

That means he wasn't prepared afterall.

Ok

You sure say e go substitute am? We may here this noise till election.

Obi, Tinubu, Atiku all scam.

Let's wait and see

Kwankwaso hasn't choosen a running mate and the time has elapsed, this simply means that Kwankwaso would either step down for Atiku or Obi, since Atiku has already choosen his running mate, it means he would most likely work with Obi.

After Peter Obi's tenure he would become president, that way everyone would be happy, north has rules twice, it won't be a bad idea if he joins forces with Peter Obi and help him become president, with his popularity once Peter Obi is done, he would take over.

This I have seen.

Funny people, may God continue to confuse them

As Buhari was unprepared, so is Tinubu... Old men with nothing to offer Nigerians. Another wasted years loading... Vote wisely!

Masari, the one who pays and negotiates with terrorists.

No different between Buhari and Tinubu, unpreparedness is their biggest undoing. It took Buhari six months to construct govt cabinet and Nigeria economy paid the price.

What a set of unserious people ,u win primary and still don't know who to make as VP. Is this the type of leader we want as president. Chai nija is just a big scam

I wish it was only obi doing this. Jagaband followers...those who crave a better Nigeria in their minds but wish Nigeria to remain backward in their deeds and actions, for no allow pesin rest with their usual rains of insults. Shioor!

So, a man has been planning for at least 8 years to be president; he goes about wailing that it is his turn and that they should give it to him yet he doesn’t even have an idea of who will assist him actualize his “vision” for the country he wishes to lead!

Red flag! … but we have our heads shoved way up the pampers of the man that we cannot see

NigerianAngelo:

Obi, Tinubu, Atiku all scam.

Remove obi from that evil list.


Any man or woman that mentions Peter Obi Name or add him as a scam shall be destroyed by fire.

I prophesy that Nigeria must be redeemed by fire in Jesus name.

Vote wisely Nigerians.

Take your destiny in your hands and vote massively for PETER OBI.
