2023 Elections: Nigerian Petroleum Corporation, NNPC Denies Tweet Saying APC Presidential Candidate, Tinubu Will Contest With Muslim Running Mate

On Wednesday, a Twitter user, identified as Igwe had said, “Tbh the future doesn’t look all that bright for Tinubu. He can’t run with a Muslim VP and the few Christian choices from the north don’t have the required political clout. Interesting to see how this plays out.”

But reacting to this tweet, the NNPC on its official Twitter handle, stated that ‘He will run with a Muslim VP’.
