Tinubu submits Masari’s name as running mate to beat INEC deadline

The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has reportedly submitted the name of Kabir Ibrahim Masari as his running mate to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to beat Friday June 17 deadline.

GISTLOVER recalls that INEC has announced Friday June 17 as deadline to political parties to submit the names of presidential candidates and their running mates.

According to Daily Post, the name of Masari, who hails from the home State of President Muhammadu Buhari, would later be changed after the party stakeholders must have agreed on the suitable vice-presidential candidate for the 2023 elections.

A party source who confirmed that Tinubu has submitted the name of his running mate, however, added that “consultation is still ongoing”

It was further gathered that the move by Tinubu and the ruling party was to meet the statutory requirement and beat the deadline set by the electoral umpire.

However, Tinubu will today meet President Buhari as consultation continues on the issue of his running mate.
