Tinubu Positions HIs Wife (Oluremi) For Vice President Under APC

Barring any last minute change, Mrs Oluremi Tinubu, representing  Lagos Central Senatorial District, will contest the 2015 Presidential Poll as Vice Presidential candidate   under the newly formed All Progressive Congress (APC).

Oluremi, the wife of former Lagos State Governor and Action Congress of Nigeria (CAN)  Leader, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is being positioned by her husband to run with General Muhammadu Buhari or any candidate that eventually emerge under the APC.

Report exclusively shows that Tinubu has proposed his wife as “the only alternative” to the opposition to a Muslim-Muslim ticket under the APC umbrella.

 The former governor, had originally plan to take the  Vice Presidential candidate on behalf of the South West to  but  has offered to “drop his own personal ambition and put forward his wife.”

"Tinubu was told several times that a Muslim- Muslim ticket would not fly again in Nigeria. The last time he told the inner meting that look, my wife is a Christian, infact her pastor is Adeboye. She  has all it takes to be Vice President”, our source revealed.

Tinubu told those in attendance that his wife has represented Lagos people very well in the Senate and by extension will do same to the south west by the time she becomes Vice President.

He is already projecting Oluremi as the consensus candidate of the Southwest members of the party for the position of Vice President under the platform of APC.

Curiously Tinubu’s  wife has lately engaged herself in some media visibility activities.

 At one of the press briefings she organised to render account of stewardship since she was elected Senator, Mrs. Tinubu while  reacting to a question on whether she has governorship ambition in 2015 responded  emphatically that she has no such ambition but one  that  is higher than  beign a governor.

 “There is still a lot of work to be done for Lagos; it’s not a child’s play.  I do not have such ambition.  May be, I can be the Vice President, not the governor,” she said.

It was also gathered that Oluremi has started mobilizing women in the southwest and north central for the need to support her ambition and APC in the 2015 General Election.

During the 1993 General Election, the Late Chief Moshood Kashimawo Abiola ran along with Ambassador Babagana Kingibe. The muslim-muslim ticket won the election that was later annulled by the gap-tooth General , Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida.

Political analysts argue that with religious tension all across the country, no party can win the Presidency if both the Presidential candidate and the Vice belong to one religion be it christianity or Islam.
