2023: Tinubu finally settles for ex-Borno governor, Shettima as running mate

Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC),has finally announced Senator Kashim Shetima as his running mate in the 2023 general elections.

Tinubu made the announcement on Sunday in Daura, the hometown of President Muhammadu Buhari in Katsina State.

The  former governor of Lagos State briefed reporters about the choice at the end of a close-door meeting that lasted about an hour with Buhari at the President’s residence.

According to the APC chieftain, Shettima was selected because the former Borno State governor is “competent, capable, reliable and able to be picked as a running mate”.

The APC presidential candidate was accompanied to Daura by Governor Aminu Masari shortly after his aircraft landed at the Umaru Musa Yar’Adua Airport in Katsina State.
