Contrary to reports, former Lagos state governor, Mr. Bola Ahmed Tinubu will not be nominated as a running mate for General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) who recently defeated four others at the All Progressives Congress party primaries in Lagos to clinch the presidential ticket.

Several sources told SaharaReporters that despite his initial interest, Mr. Tinubu is very aware that he is not an acceptable candidate to inspire confidence in Buhari’s candidature and the APC ticket to challenge incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan  in February 2015 Presidential election.

The sources, however, maintained that the APC national leader would be instrumental to selecting Mr. Buhari’s deputy for the election.

 

Buhari is expected to choose a running mate by Sunday or Monday.
