Tinubu announces Shettima as his running mate
Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), earlier announced the nomination of the former Borno Governor, Kashim Shettima, as his running mate.
Shettima, a banker-turned-politician, is a senator representing Borno central district and was described as a good man by the former governor of Kano state.
The former Kano governor expressed satisfaction with the Muslim/Muslim combination, adding that his "only worry is the platform ( the APC). This platform…I don't know."
Tinubu is a very good strategist - Kwankwaso
Kwankwaso added that the APC presidential candidate is a very good strategist, revealing he had sat with him an "uncountable number of times from 1992" until now.
Can Tinubu act differently from Buhari - Kwankwaso
He, however, expressed concern about what Tinubu will do differently from what President Muhammadu Buhari is doing presently.
"I wish I will see him to ask what he'll do differently from what the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari is doing today. That is my serious concern for him", Kwankwaso said.
The 65-year-old Kwankwaso was a former minister of defence and a former senator who represented the Kano central senatorial district between 2015 to 2019.
