Lawan lauds Tinubu/Shettima ticket

Senate President Ahmad Lawan has applauded the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, for picking former Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima as his running mate.

Lawan said in a statement that Tinubu and the APC made the right choice.

The statement reads: “On behalf of myself and the Northeast Caucus of our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), I heartily congratulate His Excellency, Senator Kashim Ibrahim Shettima, on his nomination as the running mate to our presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for the 2023 general elections.

“Asiwaju Tinubu and our party have made an excellent choice in Senator Shettima.

“The former two-term governor of Borno State entered public service with impeccable credentials, which he has burnished by demonstrating great competence, integrity and courage in all the positions that he has held.

“His background in academics and the private sector prepared him for the achievements that he has recorded in politics as governor and since his election to the Senate in 2019.

“A loyal and committed member of our party, Senator Shettima has what it takes to be an excellent running mate to our flag bearer, Insha Allah, the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria from next year.

“We of the Northeast Caucus of the APC attest that Senator Kashim Ibrahim Shettima is the right man for the job and that he will be an able and loyal lieutenant to our incoming President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Insha Allah.

“We as a caucus pledge our full cooperation and support to our candidates as we march again towards another resounding victory in the general elections.”
