Tinubu: ‘Kashim Shettima Is A Placeholder, Must Resign Immediately’

Senator Elisha Abbo (APC-Adamawa North) has called on the vice-presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Kashim Shettima, to resign immediately.

Naija News reports that APC presidential candidate Bola Tinubu’s choice of Shettima as his running mate has drawn criticism from many individuals, including party members and the opposition.

Many political experts have claimed that the crisis, if not resolved, would affect the chances of the ruling party in the 2023 presidential election.

Senator Abbo, in an interview with The SUN, called on President Muhammadu Buhari to intervene in the crisis rocking the APC.

“The president should realize that May 29, 2023, is his date to go back to Daura, not now; he still remains the president till then.

“He is tired, but we still need a president and party leader,” he said.

The lawmaker also called on Kashim Shettima to resign as Tinubu’s running mate and hand over to a Christian from the North in the interest of Nigeria.

He said: “Kashim Shettima is another placeholder; he should resign and hand over the ticket to a northern Christian so that we can have unity in this country. If you don’t have a country, where will you rule?”
