Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has been accused of
deciding with other members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, that the
party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu should pick a Muslim as his running
mate.
An Abuja-based socio-political commentator, Deji Adeyanju
alleged that El-Rufai and other members of the APC agreed that Tinubu’s running
mate should be a Muslim.
Adeyanju claimed that the agreement was reached before the
APC presidential primary election.
In a Facebook post, the rights activist said those behind such a move would soon start the propaganda that religion does not matter.
He claimed that they intend to use social media to massively
mobilize Nigerians that religion cannot play a role in picking Tinubu’s running
mate.
“El-Rufai and others already decided that Tinubu’s VP will
be a Muslim. They agreed to this even before the APC primaries.
“They want to start selling the propaganda that religion
does not matter in a multi-religious nation. You will soon see some influencers
coming to talk rubbish,” Adeyanju wrote.
A few days ago, Tinubu emerged as APC flag bearer after
defeating other Presidential aspirants in a landslide victory.
Following his emergence, the former Lagos State Governor
said his choice of running mate was known to him.
During the APC primary election, reports had it that Tinubu
endorsed a Muslim-Muslim ticket.
He, however, denied such reports.
