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

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

Tinubu, a 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 stalwart, 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.
