Atiku Abubakar (left), and Bola Tinubu
Senator Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, and his counterpart in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, on Wednesday began the search for their running mates.
The spokesman for the Tinubu Campaign Organisation, Mr Bayo Onanuga, in an interview, said the APC presidential candidate would meet the APC governors whom he said would pick the former Lagos State governor’s running mate. It was also gathered that Tinubu would meet party leaders, including the National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, before the end of the week.
Just as Senator Tinubu, who was also a former governor of Lagos State began the search for his running mate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar also on Wednesday held a closed-door meeting with the PDP governors in Abuja with a view to picking the party’s vice-presidential candidate.
