Despite the intense criticism surrounding the choice, a number of religious leaders descended on the site where Kashim Shettima, the former governor of Borno State, was introduced as the APC’s vice presidential candidate.
During his visit to President Muhammadu Buhari in Daura, Kastina State, the former governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, caused a stir by announcing Shettima as the APC’s vice-presidential candidate.
Despite protests and accusations that the nomination of a Muslim-Muslim ticket did not reflect a multireligious culture like Nigeria, the APC presidential nominee named Shettima as his running mate.
The gathering attracted a sizable number of members and supporters, but a snapshot also showed a number of Christian leaders who declined to identify their churches.
