Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential flag bearer, has named former Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima, as his running mate ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
Tinubu made this disclosure to journalists after a closed-door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari and Governor Bello Massari in Katsina on Sunday, July 10, 2022.
Recall that the former Lagos State Governor had earlier submitted the name of Alhaji Kabir Ibrahim Masari, a Katsina politician, as a placeholder in order to meet up with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) deadline.
With the INEC deadline for substitution of candidates fast approaching, Tinubu, who was in Katsina to pay Sallah homage to Buhari, disclosed that Masari has withdrawn his nomination as his running mate.
