That All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has picked former Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State as his running mate is an established fact.
Be that as it may, Tinubu, has given reasons why he chose Shettima who also happens to be a Muslim as his vice presidential candidate for the 2023 presidential election.
He said; “I chose him because he is competent, capable and reliable.”
“We came to pay homage to Buhari and to share part of his holiday and lunch. And to discuss the question of my substantive running mate.”
“The one we put in as placement has withdrawn today. There has been an announcement to replace him fully with a substantive candidate, Kashim Shettima.”
“As regards our party’s chances in next year’s presidential elections, we are going to win Insha Allah. Because we are a progressive party.”
“We have the focus on the Nigerian problems and we face the challenge squarely and we’re not running away from it. We have a better programme for the people and about the people and we are ready to serve.”
“Within a short period, there’s been a strong foundation on infrastructure. We faced a challenge of terrorism we know that. It’s only a poor thinker and observer who will not recognize the challenge.”
“But once you recognize the challenge, you can prepare yourself very well to tackle it and defeat it. And that is what our party is all about.”
