BREAKING NEWS: Tinubu may choose Yahaha Bello as running mate, in closed-door meeting
The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress and former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is currently in a closed-door meeting with Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State, in what political observers said was part of reconciliatory moves to pacify aggrieved aspirants of the APC presidential ticket.
Tinubu was accompanied to the meeting on Friday by Governors Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos); Bello Matawalle (Zamfara); and Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano).
A former governor of Edo State and former national chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole, is also in the entourage.
It was, however, not clear if the issue of Tinubu’s running mate would be part of the agenda.
They would brief the press on the outcome of the meeting.
