The ruling All Progressives Congress has said opposition parties in the country are besotted with their presidential candidate Bola Tinubu’s choice of running mate.
Commenting on the Muslim-Muslim controversy that followed the announcement of former Borno governor Kashim Shettima as Tinubu’s running mate, Murtala Yakubu Ajaka, deputy national publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), claimed that the duo are not religious fundamentalists.
Ajaka claimed that Shettima has respect for the Christian faith and sponsored many Christians for pilgrimages during his tenure as governor.
“The outstanding qualities of our vice presidential candidate, in the person of Senator Kashim Shettima, have once again thrown the opposition parties out of balance.
“They would have preferred our presidential candidate to settle for less to make it easy for them to win the election, but the choice of the trusted and trustworthy Shettima must have disrupted their evil plans, we understand in the APC.
“While we sympathize with the opposition parties, we appeal to the Nigerians, who will ultimately be the beneficiaries of good governance under the Tinubu-Shettima presidency, to look beyond the feelings of religion and tribe.
“Both Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima are not religious fundamentalists or ultra-Muslims, their records in public offices are testimonies to rely on.
“As a two-term governor in Borno State, Shettima enjoyed the support of the Christian community throughout his tenure. The Borno Branch of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) even testified that “in the history of Borno State, no governor has been more honest with the Christian community than Governor Kashim Shettima.”
“If Borno state has the most votes in the northeast, where Kashim Shettima has been governor for 8 years and now senator and still politically relevant.
“If APC has received massive support from this state and the entire Northeast and Shettima’s emergence as our vice presidential candidate will deny the PDP’s candidate the smooth ride in the zone, I think APC and our presidential candidate are politically correct because our The main goal for now is to emerge victorious in the upcoming elections, not to mention the competence that Senator Kashim Shettima represents.”
