Tinubu Retains Shettima as Running Mate for Elections

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) has officially retained Senator Kashim Shettima (GCON) as his running mate for the upcoming elections, as confirmed by the submission of presidential nomination forms to the National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Shettima has demonstrated unwavering loyalty and commitment to his role since the administration began, prioritizing the success of the government over personal recognition.

The relationship between President Tinubu and Vice President Shettima is characterized by mutual trust and respect, a rarity in Nigeria's political history since the return to democracy in 1999. Despite efforts by some individuals to sow discord between them, including unfounded allegations of betrayal, President Tinubu has remained steadfast in his support for Shettima.

This decision to keep Shettima as his running mate reflects the administration's resilience against political machinations and reinforces their collaborative approach as they seek another mandate from the Nigerian populace.
