The presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, will on Wednesday, July 20, 2022 unveil his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima.
This is coming five days after the ruling party postponed the unveiling with no reason given for the shift in date.
According to a statement by the party’s National Organising Secretary, Sulaiman Muhammad Argungu on Tuesday, July 19, 2022, the unveiling event will take place at Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja at 11:00am.
“All members of the National Executive Committee, Progressives Governors’ Forum, APC Caucus in the National Assembly, Federal Executive Council, diplomatic corps and presidential aspirants at the June 2022 Special National Convention, APC state chairmen, secretaries and organising secretaries are hereby invited to witness this landmark official unveiling of our great party’s vice presidential candidate,” the statement read.
Recall, Shettima was meant to have been presented to party members at the APC national Secretariat on July 14, but an APC official told reporters the event has been postponed over the unavailability of some party’s stakeholders in the nation’s capital city.
