The All Progressives Congress, APC, has unveiled former Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima as its Vice Presidential Candidate for the 2023 general elections.
The event, which is ongoing at the Shehu Yar’adua center in Abuja, has in attendance the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, and other party chieftains.
President Muhammadu Buhari’s former Personal Assistant on New Media, Bashir Ahmad, disclosed this via a tweet.
“Our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), unveils Senator Kashim Shettima as the running mate of our presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” he tweeted.
Tinubu had on July 10, announced the lawmaker representing Borno Central Senatorial District as his running mate, following the resignation of Ibrahim Masari, who served as a ‘placeholder”.
Tinubu’s choice of Shettima has continued to cause controversy across Nigeria.
Most Nigerians wanted the APC presidential candidate to pick a Christian as his running mate, but he settled for a Northern Muslim instead.
