Former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, has recounted how
he nominated Professor Yemi Osinbajo as President Muhammadu Buhari’s running
mate in 2015.
Tinubu, while speaking with members of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital on Thursday, said Buhari had
before the election approached him to be his running mate, because he had
failed with every other person he picked as running mates in his earlier
attempts.
The presidential aspirant stressed that it was former Senate
President Bukola Saraki that thwarted the plan by playing the Muslim-Muslim
ticket gambit.
He said that he single-handedly nominated Osinbajo to occupy
the post originally given to him.
“I gave Osinbajo my right to be Vice President. You’re
hearing this from me for the first time. That’s the truth,” Tinubu said.
