Bola Ahmed Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2023 polls, has confirmed Senator Kashim Shettima as his running mate.
In a video posted on Twitter by Dada Olusegun, Tinubu confirmed that Masari has withdrawn from the race and has been replaced by Kashim Shettima.
Meanwhile, Dateline Nigeria earlier reported that the vice presidential candidate will be unveiled to President Muhammadu Buhari, who is the leader of the party in his hometown in Daura, Katsina State on Sunday (today).
President Buhari has been in Daura since Friday for the Eid-el Kabir celebration.
Recall that Shettima played a lead role in the pre-presidential primaries campaign of Tinubu.
Shettima, the senator representing Borno Central Senatorial District, was a former two-term Governor of Borno State.
