Ibrahim Masari has resigned from his position as Bola Tinubu’s running mate for the upcoming 2023 presidential election on behalf of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC received Masari’s name as a stand-in while the party looked for a viable candidate.
Masari, however, announced his resignation in a letter sent to APC members on Sunday.

The letter reads in part, “I had the singular honour and privilege of being nominated as the running mate to Asiwaju Tinubu last month after a keenly contested presidential primary ahead of the 2023 general election.
“After much reflection and wider consultations, I now wish to step down. I realised that my decision will enable Asiwaju to have more latitude to give more accommodation and inclusion that will position our party to win the coming elections, with the support of the people of Nigeria.”
Anaedoonline.ng had reported that Tinubu has picked Senator Kashim Shettima as his running mate.
