Why I stepped down as Tinubu’s running mate – Masari
Ibrahim Masari, the running mate to the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu has stepped down.
Masari made this known on Sunday few minutes after their meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in Daura.
In a letter addressed to leadership of APC, Masari said his decision to step down will “give more accommodation and inclusion that will position our party to win the coming elections.”
The letter reads in part, “I had the singular honour and privilege of being nominated as the running mate to Asiwaju Tinubu last month after a keenly contested presidential primary ahead of the 2023 general election.
“After much reflection and wider consultations, I now wish to step down.
“I realised that my decision will enable Asiwaju to have more latitude to give more accommodation and inclusion that will position our party to win the coming elections, with the support of the people of Nigeria.”
