The much touted 2023 presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and former Speaker, Yakubu Dogara has suffered a knock as the Chairman of the party’s Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Committee, Mai Mala Buni, has dismissed the purported joint ticket as mere rumour.
Buni stated this while speaking with BBC Hausa yesterday.
Mai Mala Buni not only punctured the supposed Tinubu/Dogara Ticket as mere rumour, he dismissed it outrightly insisting that the party presently has no time for the matchmaking.
When the Yobe state Governor was asked whether Dogara joined the party, so that Tinubu/Dogara would contest to have Muslim/Christian ticket, he replied: “These are mere rumour and rumor strive in democracy. That’s not even our concern for now.”
He maintained that “It is not even proper to start talking about 2023 when we have a seating President”.
Buni noted that “People were surprised when Dogara joined us (APC) but insisted that “that’s how we will continue to spring surprises. In democracy”.
He added that people are talking about 2023 Elections “but 2023 is not even our priority now. We are working towards uniting the party.”
