Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State has said that he has no plans to be the running mate of former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari in the 2015 Presidential elections.
Fashola
said this in reaction to recent rumours hinting that he would contest
at Buhari’s side for the position of Vice President.
The
governor, speaking during an October 19 ceremony to commemorate his
2700th day in office, stated that he had only attended Buhari’s official
declaration because he was personally invited.
He said:
“My
presence at Buhari’s declaration was because he came to Lagos to
personally deliver an invitation letter to me. It was a pointer that I
respect him. It was a pointer that it was an APC event. And it was
pointer that I went to a party event.”
Buhari and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar
are expected to go head to head for the ticket of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) but neither of them has named a running mate......
All we want is good leadership, irrespective of the candidate.
