Kashim Shettima, All Progressives Congress (APC) Vice-Presidential candidate for the 2023 election, has said that he never supported the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu in order to be his running mate.
The former Borno state governor made this known on Wednesday in Abuja when he was formally presented as the running mate to Tinubu by the APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu.
Speaking on the controversy sorrounding the APC Muslim-Muslim ticket and his nomination, Shettima said: “I don’t intend to be Vice-President to represent members of the Muslim community. No, the Sultan of Sokoto is capable of doing that.
“I do not seek to be the Vice-Presidential of Nigeria to protect the interest of the Hausa Kanuri tribe in the North, no.
“Asiwaju Bola Tinubu believes in the Nigerian project, and I swear in the name of God that I never supported Asiwaju to be his running mate.
“I supported the project because of moral compulsion.”
