The All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has hinted that his running mate, Ibrahim Masari, might step down following ongoing consulting with President Muhammadu Buhari, party governors, and the party’s leadership ahead of the 2023 election.
Speaking through his Media Aide, Tunde Rahman, the former Lagos State governor, said if he decides, Masari will step down in accordance with the law and interest of the party in winning the 2023 presidential election.
“There are ongoing consultations involving President Buhari, the party’s governors and the APC leadership with Asíwájú Tinubu and his running mate.
“If following these consultations, the running mate decides for instance that he wants to stand down in the interest of the party and the country, I think it’s only fair and appropriate to allow him to deal with that.
“I think it’s within the prerogative of the running mate to take his own decision and to say for instance that he would like to stand down because he feels doing so will serve the candidate and the party better than he remaining on the ticket,” he told Tribune.
