Ahead of the 2023 general election, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, yesterday said he is still searching for his running mate.
The Asiwaju stated this in Abuja, while delivering his keynote address at the 60th birthday celebration of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Femi Gbajabiamila.
The ex-Lagos Governor also heaped praises on the Speaker for his contributions to his political ambition of becoming Nigeria’s President and democracy, while extolling the virtues of his Deputy, Hon. Idris Wase, for being a dependable ally.
Also speaking, President Muhammadu Buhari described Gbajabiamila as a team player and a skillful parliamentarian.
Buhari, who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Prof Ibrahim Gambari, said the Speaker is one who looks beyond differences for the benefit of all.
“For him what matters is not so much the party differences but what unites Nigerians and that is why he is a passionate advocate for a peaceful democracy and unity of Nigeria. And no amount of parliamentary maneuvers or differences between parties would deviate him from this”, he said.
