Presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, says Kashim Shettima is the best choice as his running mate.The former Lagos State governor said this on Wednesday while meeting the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Abuja.
Recall that Tinubu’s announcement of Shettima as his running mate in July generated criticism and condemnation from different quarters including CAN.
However, in a statement released by Tinubu’s media aide, Tunde Rahman, maintained that he choose Senator Kashim Shettima as his running mate because he is the best hand that can help his administration.
“I offer a confession. I selected Senator Shettima thinking more about who would best help me govern. Picking a Christian running mate would have been politically easier. But the easy way is rarely the right one. The selection of a running mate is at once a very momentous yet very intimate decision,” Tinubu said.
