Although it’s not yet confirmed, there are speculations that he might pick a running mate from among the Northern governors that supported his ambition.

The names mentioned included governors of Kaduna, Jigawa, Kebbi, Plateau, among others.

Hailing president Buhari for a aiding a free and fair primary election, Tinubu recalled how Buhari had promised many times that he would support the democratic process.
“He promised the whole country and the world that he would build a legacy of transparency and consistency. Legacy of a level-playing ground for all the aspirants. He will be committed to democratic principles and values and he did so,” explained Mr Tinubu. “He didn’t endorse anybody. He didn’t impose anybody. He did not, at any time, attempt to tinker with the process of this election to favour one tribe or the other. He was steadfast. He was trustworthy. He was dependable. He was a leader.”
