Tinubu should pick Gov. Zulum as running mate: Igbo group
The Southeast Destiny Movement for Bola Ahmed Tinubu (SDMBAT), a political pressure group, has urged Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to consider Governor Babagana Zulum as his All Progressives Congress (APC) running mate for the 2023 presidential election.
SDMBAT founder Ekene Enefe declared this on Thursday in Awka.
Mr Enefe described Mr Tinubu as a liberal Muslim who has kept a Christian family for decades and managed a multi-religious society such as Lagos successfully.
“Bola Tinubu is at liberty to choose a running mate that can make him win irrespective of religious considerations. He is a southerner, what he needs now is a northerner who is acceptable, competent and result-oriented, not a Christian or a Muslim,” explained Mr Enefe.
He added, “That is why SDMBAT is calling for Tinubu-Zulum ticket. Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno is a performing governor who can bring so much value to the ticket if nominated as running mate. It is our informed opinion that what the people want is a government that will deliver dividends, democracy and good governance to them.”
Mr Enefe further mentioned that the group which had structures in the five states of the South-East was already mobilising the grassroots for the APC, expressing confidence that the party would be victorious in 2023.
