Ganduje defends Tinubu’s Muslim-Muslim ticket, says it’ll promote national growth, development

Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State, speaking on his appointment as patron of the APC National Integrity Movement (ANIM) at the Government House, Kano, defended the Muslim-Muslim ticket the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, imposed on the party and Nigerians, in general, in choosing Kashim Shettima as his running mate. Ganduje, supporting his defence, stated that the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the Tinubu presidency in 2023 will promote national growth and development in the country.

Ganduje had stated: “Tinubu’s track records and pedigree shows that he can propel Nigeria to greatness if elected as president.

“Asiwaju is man of integrity and a good product. He has contributed greatly to the growth and development of our democracy.

“He is a consummate democrat and the leader of progressives who fought to bring the democratic rule that Nigerians are enjoying today.”

The Kano governor enjoined the APC National Integrity Movement (ANIM) to consolidate on their support and advocacy for Tinubu after the presidential election in 2023.

Ganduje promised to work hard for the election of Tinubu as president.

ANIM national leader, Alhaji Sadik Fakai, explained that the appointment was a way of saying thank you for the strategic role Ganduje played in the emergence of Tinubu as the APC presidential candidate.

“Every member of the APC is important and has a lot to contribute to the success of the party.

“APC remains the property of party faithful and we all have a stake in the party and ready to give our support.”
