Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has confirmed that he is yet to get his running mate and is still searching.

Tinubu’s statement confirms that the name of Kabir Ibrahim Masari submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is a place holder and would soon be changed.

The presidential candidate spoke during a presentation of the book, “Mr Speaker”, and unveiling of the Legislative Mentorship Initiative to mark the 60 birthday of Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila in Abuja.

Tinubu who admired the cordial working relationship between Gbajabiamila and his deputy, Hon Ahmed Wase, said he would take a cue from the presiding officer of the House in the search for his running mate.

“I could see his deputy (Wase) sitting down there too. You are a very good symbol of unity, dependability, and honesty, thank you. Thank you for 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,” Tinubu said.

While reeling out the democratic values of the speaker, Tinubu described Gbajabiamila as a symbol of democratic value, honesty and integrity.
