The presidential flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu yesterday justified the choice of Senator Kashim Shettima as his running mate in next year’s election.
He also clarified why the ruling party should retain power.
Defending Shettima’s nomination, Tinubu said he made a hard, but the best decision.
He said: “This chapter in our nation’s history demands a bold, yet pragmatic approach. In selecting Senator Shettima, I have committed myself to this path. I have made the hard choice because I believe it is the best choice.
“Every election brings with it the promise of renewed hope. This one shall be no different.
“For our party and our nation, we hold the chance to move the nation and our collective cause forward as never before.
“To do this, we must be wise of thought and courageous of action. We must win this election so that we can bring jobs, education, food, medicine, hope, and belief in a better life to the people of this country.”
Tinubu yesterday unveiled Shettima at a colorful ceremony held at the Yar’Adua Conference Centre, Abuja.
