Gov Inuwa Yahaya expresses satisfaction over Tinubu's choice of running mate

Gombe State Governor Inuwa Yahaya on Tuesday called the selection of former Borno Governor Kashim Shettima as the All Progressives Congress (APC) vice presidential nominee a good decision.

Yahaya claimed the decision would guarantee the APC victory in next year's general election.

He said so in a statement by Mr Ismaila Uba-Misilli, Director General of Press Affairs at Gombe Government House, in Gombe.

The governor said Shettima's election was a feat that would facilitate the party's smooth victory in the upcoming 2023 presidential election.

According to Yahaya, the former Borno state governor is a committed and loyal party man and a great asset to the ruling party.

Yahaya stated that Shettima would add "immeasurable" value to the APC presidential ticket.

“Asiwaju will not have made a better choice. The former governor of Borno State is a highly intellectual, articulate, competent, courageous and open-minded leader,” Yahaya said.

“Shettima has managed to build bridges, reputation and friendships across the country and I believe he has the ability to represent the acumen and political sagacity that the Jagaban have.

"With his background as a former lecturer, banker, agricultural economist, ex-governor and parliamentarian with visionary and patriotic ideologies, Sen. Shettima will be a 'round peg in a round hole' as vice president."
