The presidential candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, recently revealed that he has not yet selected a running mate for the 2023 election.
Responding to this, Femi Gbajabiamila, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, is said to have made a commitment to assist Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in his search for an appropriate running mate in advance of the presidential election in 2023.
This was revealed by Tinubu on Sunday in Abuja during the celebration of the 60th birthday of Femi Gbajabiamila, who is the speaker of the house of representatives.
Tinubu, a politician who once served as the governor of Lagos state, was selected as the APC candidate to run for president in 2023 earlier this month.
After the victory, Kabiru Masari was given the title of "presidential candidate" for the position of vice presidential candidate. This designation will remain in effect until a final candidate name is presented to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
During his speech, Tinubu praised the accomplishments of Gbajabiamila and Idris Wase, the deputy speaker, and added that he needs to learn from them as he continues to look for a running mate.
Tinubu thanked them all by saying, "You are very good symbols of unity, dependability, and honesty. Thank you."
Thank you to both of you. You've not rocked the boat. I will need to learn from both of you how you made the pair work because I'm still searching for my running mate. " What you did during my primary (the APC presidential election) is a story for another day. I've spent more time and people might be bored. They might be envious too. They might be jealous. I won a landslide. I thank you.
Femi, with your determination and reach, you are a contributor to our democratic growth. Thank you. It is about charting a path to success. You've done a good job, and I say thank you.

SEE Who APC Northern Stakeholders Want As Tinubu's Running Mate And Why
Abdullahi Aliyu Katsina, a leader of All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders from the north, said that according to the survey conducted by the group, only Governor Babagana Umara Zulum of Borno State can ensure an easy victory for the APC in the north as the party's running mate for Ahmed Bola Tinubu, according to Leadership.
Katsina stated yesterday at a news conference in Minna that although the people of Borno State may not want him to go now that he is doing a good job for the state, serving Nigeria as a whole is more important to him than leaving Borno State.
"Our concern is how the APC can retain power after the 2023 general elections." Winning the primary election is one victory, and winning the general election is another critical victory. Our survey has clearly shown that Governor Babagana Umara Zulum of Borno State is one man who has succeeded in getting the trust of the majority of the electorates across Northern Nigeria.
"We have randomly sampled the opinion of voters across 19 northern states; with the present challenges of having PDP presidential candidates from the north, who can pull out voters that can give APC victory?" The answer remains Governor Zulum, "Katsina added.
He stated that winning the elections in 2023 is the most important goal, but that in order to do so, a distinguished personality who is respected, accepted, and trusted and who has the ability to produce votes from Northern Nigeria must be presented, and that only Zulum possesses the qualities necessary to do so.
The chairman of the organization stated that it is of the utmost importance for all members of the party to maintain their composure and work diligently so that the party can win the general election in 2023.
