Says I will speak during handover to Tinubu
President Muhammadu Buhari, on Wednesday, predicted the victory of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, in the 2023 election.
The president, according to a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, spoke when the APC vice-presidential candidate, Kashim Shettima, visited him at the State House, Abuja.
In his remark after the former Borno State governor delivered a speech, Buhari said: I will respond to your speech when I am handing over to you and your boss. God willing, you are going to win. He expressed delight over the choice of Shettima as Tinubus running mate.
In his address, the vice-presidential candidate thanked President Buhari for his empathy, support and positive role, leading to his emergence as running mate to the APC presidential candidate.
He praised the president for having a special place in his heart for Borno State and the North-East region.
He also requested the president to thank the Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, who was in his company, along with the Minister of State for Agriculture, Mustapha Baba Shehuri, for shunning pressure from his colleagues to vie for the vice-presidential ticket.
