The chances are that, by the time you read this article, the major presidential candidates – Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP; Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC; and Peter Obi of the Labour Party, LP, would have announced their running mates.
Of the lot, Tinubu’s matter matters the most. From the distant
past when he started developing interest in becoming the president of Nigeria,
he has always postulated that a Muslim/Muslim ticket “can work; competence is
all that matters”.
If “competence” is all that matters, why not just pick a fellow Yoruba; they also have their share of competent people. Why look for something in Sokoto when you can simply pick it from your Sokoto pocket? But hey, I perfectly understand his situation.
