Governor of Gombe State, Inuwa Yahaya has said the choice of former governor of Borno, Kashim Shettima as running mate to Bola Tinubu, tbe Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), would guarantee victory for the party.
Yahaya, who stated this via a statement issued by Mr Ismaila Uba-Misilli, the Director-General, Press Affairs, Gombe Government House, described Tinubu’s decision to pick Shettima as a good one.
He said the federal lawmaker is a committed and loyal party man and a great asset to the ruling party.
