APC Unveils Shettima As Vice-Presidential Candidate

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has unveiled former Borno State Governor, Senator Kashim Shettima as its vice presidential candidate for the 2023 general elections.

The event, which took place at the Shehu Yar’adua center in Abuja, had in attendance the party’s presidential candidate and ex-Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu, APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, and other chieftains.

In his remark, Adamu described the APC presidential candidate as a detribalized Nigerian who has carried everyone along regardless of their ethnic and political differences.

He commended Tinubu for his choice of Shettima, hence, following the path of the presumed winner of the 1993 presidential election, Moshood Abiola who selected Babagana Kingibe as his running mate.

The APC Chairman said Tinubu can be trusted to run an all-inclusive government if elected as President in the 2023 general elections.

According to Adamu, “The 1993 presidential ticket and the current one bridged one of our fourth lines in the management of our adversities. Nigerians overwhelmingly voted for that ticket because they trusted Abiola – a man who opened his arms to every tribe and religion in this country.

“Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a man who has also thrown his arm around every tribe in Nigeria. He has offered his shoulders for those in pain to lean on. He has used his wealth to bring succour to the needy.

“He can be trusted to run an inclusive government in which character, competence and vision matter to his administration.”

Speaking, Tinubu said he is grateful for the endorsement of the APC chieftains as the party’s vice presidential candidate.
