Shettima choice as Tinubu’s running mate a masterstroke – Inuwa 

The Gombe state governor, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya has said that  the choice of former Governor of Borno state,  Senator  Kashim Shettima as the vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress  (APC) is a masterstroke and the right decision that will facilitate the party’s smooth sail to victory in the forthcoming 2023 presidential elections.  

While reacting to the development, Governor Inuwa stated that as a committed and loyal party man, Senator Shettima is a great asset to the ruling party and he will add immeasurable value to the APC presidential ticket.  

He said: “Asiwaju could not have made a better choice.  The former Borno state governor is a highly cerebral, eloquent, competent, courageous and cosmopolitan leader who has succeeded in building bridges, reputation and friendships across the country; and I believe he has the capacity,  acumen and political sagacity to deputise the Jagaban.” 

While congratulating the one-time chairman of the Northern Nigeria Governors Forum, Inuwa said with his background as a former lecturer, banker, agricultural economist, ex-governor and parliamentarian with visionary and patriotic ideologies, Sen. Shettima will be a round peg in a round hole’ as vice president.
