Ignore reports of Muslim-Muslim ticket if I win APC ticket – Tinubu

National Leader of the All Progressives Congress Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has denied settling for a Muslim-Muslim ticket if he emerges the presidential flagbearer of the party.

Tinubu in a statement by his media team was responding to text messages going round to that effect.

Tinubu who described the message as fake, said it was meant to confuse and hoodwink delegates. According to him, the decision of who to become his running mate was yet to be discussed.

“We have been informed of a text message going round APC delegates at Eagle Square, Abuja purportedly from Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, claiming that with his imminent victory at the APC Presidential Primary and emergence as the party’s presidential candidate, the APC leader has now decided on a Muslim-Muslim ticket.

“This is nothing but a lie. It has no basis whatsoever.

“We enjoin the distinguished delegates to ignore this completely.

“The fake text message is a ploy by some undemocratic elements to confuse and hoodwink delegates sensing that Asíwájú Tinubu is comfortably coasting home to victory.

“Truth is Asíwájú is destined for victory and no one can scuttle this through their shameful tactics.

“Asíwájú is not known to jumping guns. He will deal with all important matters pertaining to his presidential pair at the appropriate time, after his victory has been fully established by the distinguished delegates,” the statement read.
