It is not difficult for Tinubu to pick a running mate but just the complexity of the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou understand that many people are talking about Muslim-Muslim, Christian-Christian ticket forgetting that no matter the diversity in the country one must win election. We\u2019re consulting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re looking at Muslim-Muslim ticket and we\u2019re also looking at Muslim-Christian ticket. Are the Muslims in this country better off with Buhari as President?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, if our candidate comes out with Muslim candidate, so be it and if the party or the candidate comes out with a Christian candidate, we\u2019ll also make sure we win the election.
