The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has met with the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, over his decision to settle for a Muslim-Muslim ticket.

Recall, Bola Tinubu announced the choice of former Borno State Governor, Senator Kashim Shettima, as his running mate after a closed-door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at his Daura home in Katsina State.

According to ThisDay, Tinubu’s meeting with Adeboye took place on Sunday at the Redemption Camp.

The former Lagos State governor’s wife, Senator Oluremi, who is an assistant pastor with RCCG, alongside others, attended the meeting.

“He met Adeboye on Sunday. The meeting was very fruitful. Adeboye is not against Muslim-Muslim ticket,” a source told ThisDay.

The APC Presidential candidate’s Media Aide, Tunde Rahman, could not be reached to confirm the meeting
