The All Progressives Congress (APC) is set to unveil Senator Kashim Shettima, the running mate to its presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, on Wednesday.
Tinubu had on July 10 announced the ex-governor and Senator representing Borno Central as his running mate in the 2023 general elections.
Nine days later, the ruling party issued a statement, saying the vice presidential candidate will be unveiled in Abuja.
According to the APC National Organising Secretary, Suleiman Argungu, the exercise will take place by 1 pm at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre in the nation’s capital.
However, the ruling party had received backlash from concerned Nigerians, religious leaders and opposition parties over the choice of a muslim-muslim ticket; a decision Tinubu says was borne out of the qualities of Shettima which he believes would move Nigeria forward.
