Gombe State Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya has described Senator Kashim Shettima’s selection as the All Progressives Congress (APC) Vice Presidential Candidate as a masterstroke.
According to his spokesperson, Ismaila Uba Misilli, the governor’s choice of the former Borno state governor will help the party sail to victory in the upcoming presidential election.
Senator Shettima, he said, is a great asset to the ruling APC and will add immeasurable value to the presidential ticket as a committed and loyal party member.

“There could not have been a better choice than Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.” “Shettima is a highly cerebral, eloquent, competent, courageous, and cosmopolitan leader who has succeeded in building bridges, reputations, and friendships across the country, and I believe he has the capacity, acumen, and political savviness to deputise the Jagaban Borgu,” he said.
While congratulating the former Chairman of the Northern Nigeria Governors Forum, Governor Yahaya stated that Shettima, with his background as a former lecturer, banker, agricultural economist, ex-governor, and parliamentarian with visionary and patriotic ideologies, will be a “round peg in a round hole” as vice president.
According to him, the Tinubu/Shettima ticket has already given the APC an advantage and thrown the opposition off guard “as we approach the elections.”
He reassured the APC in Gombe State of his personal commitment and support for the Tinubu/Shettima ticket, as well as the party’s victory in the 2023 elections.
