2023: Tinubu reveals Buhari’s role in picking Shettima as running mate

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has revealed his discussion with President Muhammadu Buhari on the choice of his running mate.

 

Tinubu made the revelation at the residence of Pa Reuben Fasoranti, leader of Afenifere, Yoruba Socio-cultural group, on Sunday in Akure, Ondo State capital.

 

Tinubu said that the visit was in fulfilment of an earlier promise he made to the Afenifere leader before the APC primaries.

 

“I promised to come back after winning the APC ticket. I am here to thank all Yoruba leaders and also ask them to thank Buhari and northern governors for their steadfastness and for being promise-keepers.

 

“The North proved to me Nigeria can survive its unity. Some people wanted President Muhammadu Buhari to announce someone, but the President said no. He insisted the process must go on democratically. The President said that anyone that would mess up the APC process would see his other side.

 

“He remained upright to the end. The battle was tough and, at a point, I was in doubt. There were many rumours and I became confused over what to believe. Buhari told me I promoted his name with the way I won the primary election because the process was clean and transparent and nobody could accuse him of manipulating it.

 

“The president said I gave him credibility and I deserved to be President. When I asked him to nominate the Vice Presidential candidate, he said I should pick whoever I wanted and it is the reason I chose a competent man in Kashim Shettima who has never lost any election. I particularly went for him because he had protected Christians in time of trouble in his state,” he stated. CONTINUE READING……………………………..
