ABUJA — President Muhammadu Buhari says delighted with the choice of the former governor of Borno as the APC’s vice-presidential candidate.
Buhari said this on Wednesday at the state house in Abuja.
He expressed optimism that the All Progressives Congress (APC) will win the 2023 presidential election.
On Wednesday, the APC unveiled Shettima, former Borno governor, as the running mate to Tinubu, the party’s presidential candidate.
Garba Shehu, presidential spokesman, in a statement indicated that the former Borno governor delivered a “flowery speech” in honour of Buhari at the meeting, adding that in a bid to lighten up the mood after listening to Shettima, the president said he would respond when he hands over to the APC candidates in 2023.
“I will respond to your speech when I am handing over to you and your boss. God willing, you are going to win,” Buhari was quoted as saying.
“I wish you the best. Your consistency in the party is very respectful. You served your two terms as Governor and finished well.
