Muslim-Muslim Ticket: Why Tinubu Will Not Drop Shettima - Adeyeye

The Director of Peter Obi’s presidential campaign, Doyin Okupe  has urged fellow Nigerians to back the youths in their bid to take back their country following the selection of former Governor of Borno State, Senator Kashim Shettima as the running mate to the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.

Naija News earlier reported that Tinubu in an interview with journalists on Sunday after a closed-door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in Daura, Katsina State confirmed Senator Shettima as his running mate.

Shettima, who is the Senator representing Borno Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly, played a crucial role during Tinubu’s campaign to emerge as the APC presidential candidate.

The former governor will replace Ibrahim Masari, whose name was submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as an interim vice presidential candidate of the ruling party.

Shortly after the APC national leader confirmed his choice of running mate, Okupe via the microblogging platform, Twitter maintained that a nation that does noot listen to the voice of its youths will forfeit its future.

He also added that Nigeria have just one more tenure to crash.
