THE All Progressives Congress (APC) is set to unveil Senator Kashim Shettima as the running mate to its presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Wednesday at a ceremony schedule to take place by 1.00pm at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja.
This was disclosed in a statement issued Tuesday morning by the APC National Organising Secretary, Suleiman Argungu.
The statement reads: “The All Progressives Congress will formally unveil its Vice Presidential Candidate, Senator Kashim Shettima, to the Nigerian public.
“All members of the National Executive Committee, Progressives Governors’ Forum, APC Caucus in the National Assembly, Federal Executive Council, diplomatic corps and presidential aspirants at the June 2022 Special National Convention, APC state chairmen, secretaries and organising secretaries are hereby invited to witness this landmark official unveiling of our great party’s vice presidential candidate.”
Tinubu had told newsmen that Shettima was the ‘chosen one’ after a closed-door meeting with President Buhari in Daura, Katsina State, on July 10.
The choice of Shettima as running mate to Tinubu had faced a barrage of criticisms from concerned Nigerians, religious leaders, opposition parties and the Christians Association of Nigeria.
