The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu said his choice for vice president is in his pocketbook.
Speaking after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House on Thursday, Tinubu said he has a right to pick his running mate
“I won’t tell you that.
“That is my right, it’s in my pocketbook,” the former Governor of Lagos replied.
Tinubu was accompanied on a thank-you visit to the president by Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu and MD/CEO Oando Plc, Wale Tinubu.
Tinubu, who polled 1,271 votes to defeat 13 other contenders, also praised President Buhari for not “tinkering” with the presidential primary.
He lauded the President for providing a level playing field for the process of selecting the party’s presidential candidate.
“He promised the whole country and the world that he will build a legacy of transparency and consistency; legacy of a level playing ground for all the aspirants.
“He didn’t endorse anybody, he didn’t impose anybody, and 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, and he was dependable.
“If he had to give it to anybody yesterday, it is not my victory that is important, it is the process and the management of that election that gave it to President Muhammadu Buhari,” he said.
Following Tinubu’s victory in the APC presidential primary election, there has been speculation over who he will pick as running mate.
