By Ovie Okpare

The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Olorogun Festus Keyamo (SAN), says Alhaji Bola Tinubu’s choice of Senator Kashim Shettima as a running mate for the 2023 presidential election is a perfect one.

Tinubu, who is the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) announced the choice of Shettima on Sunday during a Sallah visit to President Muhammadu Buhari at his country-home in Daura, Katsina State.

The APC presidential candidate, while defending the choice Shettima, immediate past governor of Borno State, said he chose competence over religion in picking his running mate.

Keyamo, while reacting to the emergence of Senator Shettima as Tinubu’s running mate on the APC ticket, said the former Borno State governor “is the perfect choice as VP”.

The Uvwie-born Senior Advocate of Nigeria and minister in the President Buhari’s cabinet, described Shettima as a fiercely loyal and quintessential banker.

According to the minister, “Quintessential banker & economist, suave gentleman & politician, intellectually fertile, economically sound, intergenerationally mobile (he’s young, yet experienced), fiercely loyal, phenomenally complimentary to @officialABAT; HE Sen. Kashim Shettima is the perfect choice as VP.”
