While the party has less than two days to make decision on who fly the joint ticket with the presidential candidate, there have been divergent opinions on the personality and geo-political zone to be considered in picking Vice Presidential candidate.
In a statement released Wednesday in Abuja by the National President of APC-YDF Comrade Solomon Audu, said the ongoing consultations on the options available to the party in considering a presidential pair for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
He said “The call to adopt governor Chief Ezekiel Afunkoyo as Tinubu’s Vice is based on his performance as a businessman , acceptability among his colleagues and Nigerians, his sense justice and equity and his contributions to the development of APC as a ruling party.”
He said Cheif Ezekiel is known for “his personal sound character and his gentle disposition, a bridge between the young and the old, who has no record of religious bigotry, physically fit and mentally balanced and a bridge-builder between the North and the South, among others suit him for the position.
“The experience gained as a politician will certainly come in handy in his role as Vice President”.
