Presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, says Kashim Shettima is the best choice as his running mate.

The former Lagos State governor said this on Wednesday while meeting the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Abuja.

Recall that Tinubu’s announcement of Shettima as his running mate in July generated criticism and condemnation from different quarters including CAN.

However, in a statement released by Tinubu’s media aide, Tunde Rahman, maintained that he choose Senator Kashim Shettima as his running mate because he is the best hand that can help his istration.

“I offer a confession. I selected Senator Shettima thinking more about who would best help me govern. Picking a Christian running mate would have been politically easier. But the easy way is rarely the right one. The selection of a running mate is at once a very momentous yet very intimate decision,” Tinubu said.

“I did not choose Senator Shettima so that we could form a same-faith ticket. The ticket was constructed as the same progressive and people-based ideology ticket,”

“Resting such a key decision on religious affiliation as the primary weight did not sit well with me. I am not saying there were not good and adequate potential running mates of the Christian faith.

“What I am saying is that the times we inhabit do not lend themselves to the good or adequate. We have urgent problems that lend themselves not to a Christian or Muslim solution. We need the best solution.

“Every time I thought about it, and I did think a lot; I came to the same conclusion: Kashim Shettima.”

So this is the best Tinubu can find in the whole APC.

Drug lord vs Boko Haram. What a deadly collabo.

You must collect...


Sooner or late every Nigerian too must collect....



tinubu for president..

Buh Lalong is not good enough to be VP
Only good for campaign DG
Just look at this disgraceful old cow

No wahala

You go tell Nigerians that one for election day

Nigerian Christians, Thiefnubuu just said none of you was good enough to be his Vice.

The druggie should not be good enough for Christian votes too.

A drug lord/thief and a terrorist

Truly, there’s no better combination for that match made in Hell.

He evaded scrutiny from his drug trafficking past because of the political elites
He avoided jail term for corruption because the power to jail was with the political elites

but you see this muslim-muslim ticket, he can't avoid it, because the power to vote is with the ordinary people

For the first time Nigeria is about to have an Economist, and a Financial expert head National Economic Council



.

Yes, we know.

But at the end, most Nigerians won't be voting for you because religion, but because your party promised us some things in 2014, and today those promises have not been fufilled.

But how will Shamettima explain to Nigerians that the VP office he's earnestly seeking is no longer AN ICE CREAM SELLER'S OFFICE?

Ok

Eh yah

There you have it Ladies and gentlemen!
Just the right Boko Haram Commander to perfect the evil plan.
Of course, who else but Shettima?

God forbid.

If Shettima was a Christian, will he pick him? He should it he selected Shettima for electoral value and stop lying.

Yes best Boko Haram u can find papa Abraham

And when majority kicked against it what did you do ? Nothing. Thinking people would get over it.

You planned it from the scratch with hope that your wife us a Rccg pastor, your children are Christian etc.

You rent fake bishops to prove that Christian's were in . Oga you made this mistake and it is irreversible. Majority are for Obi now as long as power will still come down to south

Shettima is a dependable ally and one of the best within Tinubu circle.

We have no doubt that he will make a good Vice President.

God bless Bola Tinubu.

Ok

Ok

Lol, you mean a book haram sponsor..

Unam ikot mkpo !

Kengelee:
In the whole Nigeria

He for choose you

This is so disappointing, out of 200million people you could only find a man accused of having a hand in Boko Haram to be your VP? A man who was in charge when Chibok girls were kidnapped in his own state but did nothing?

Best in what regard? Religion bias and nothing else

Tinubu... Just stop! Abeg, I take God beg you!

A controversial person linked to terrorism was the best you could find?!? In the whole of Northern Nigeria?!!

What's even my business!

SHETIMA EVIL DEEDS AGAINST CHRISTIANITY

1. Shettima stopped the study of Christian Religious studies in Borno state schools when he was the governor of the state.

2. Shettima withdrew CofO of lands belonging to churches in Borno state.

3. Shetima limited numbers of christian students from gaining ission into universities, deny them the opportunity even when they merited it.

4. Shettima founded and funded boko haram.

5. Shetima orchestrated the kidnap of chibok girls and thereafter promoted the Principal of the school to a Commissioner in the state.

Don't think you are voting for Tinubu, Tinubu is at the cross road, holding the ticket for the terrorist Shettima. Christians, please shine your eyes.
