EDITOR’S PICK:
EKO HOT BLOG reports that Tinubu should consult the ‘Noble Dozen’ before choosing a running mate for the 2023 presidential election, according to the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC).
Tinubu was elected as the All Progressives Congress’s (APC) presidential candidate after winning the party’s presidential primaries in Eagles Square, Abuja, on Wednesday.
The Islamic group explained that the name ‘Noble Dozen’ was given to the twelve Northern governors who insisted that President Muhammadu Buhari’s successor be chosen from the South.
On Saturday, MURIC made the proposal in a statement signed by its director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola.
We will like to advise that apart from ensuring that the position of vice president in 2023 goes to the North, Senator Tinubu should consult the ‘Noble Dozen’,” the group said.
EDITOR’S PICK
“Those we refer to as the Noble Dozen are those twelve (12) sincere Northern governors who disabused the minds of Nigerians concerning the myth of Northern hegemony and a nonexistent caliphate oligarchy by insisting that APC’s presidential candidate must come from the South. This was a great sacrifice and a noble idea.
“They demonstrated statesmanship, patriotism and nobility of thought by that action. “
