Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has chosen a Muslim as his running mate for the 2023 presidential election.
Certain national stakeholders urged the former governor of Lagos State against choosing a Muslim running mate since a Muslim-Muslim ticket would exclude Christians.
However, according to a report published by Vanguard on Sunday, Tinubu has chosen Senator Kashim Shettima as his running mate.
Shettima served as the governor of Borno State for two terms and is the senator for Borno Central in the Red Chamber.
Within the week, Tinubu is anticipated to inform President Muhammadu Buhari of his choice of running partner.
To beat the deadline given by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Tinubu submitted the name of Kabiru Masari as a placeholder for the vice-presidential candidacy.
