Gov. Fashola of Lagos state is a Muslim, so he is out of VP slot, APC sources told Punch.ng.The Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN), has been ruled out as a running mate to the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress anytime the candidate emerges, a highly placed source told Punchng.com on condition of anonymity in Abuja on Sunday.
You would recall that this issue has been up with dust in the air for sometime now and no reasonable Nigerian will ever believe that APC as a major opposition part that is gearing up to wrestle Presidency from the ruling People's Democratic Party could even think or dream of fielding such a ticket in today's Nigeria

Continuing, the source said since it was almost certain that the party would field a Muslim as its presidential candidate, it would therefore be out of place to field another Muslim as the running mate.
Apart from a former Head of State, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), the party also has three other known presidential aspirants such as former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar; Governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwakwanso; and a newspaper publisher, Mr. Sam Nda-Isaiah, out of which only Nda-Isaiah is a Christian, the source concluded.
So it makes it a no-no if not totally impossible that a Christian will emerge as APC's presidential candidate to accommodate Gov. Fashola.
