CONTROVERSY AS CLERICS ATTEND UNVEILING OF SHETTIMA AS TINUBU’S RUNNING MATE
A coalition of Christian clerics on Wednesday, attended the official unveiling of Kashim Shettima, former Borno State governor by the All Progressives Congress (APC), as the party’s vice-presidential candidate for the 2023 general elections.

Christian groups had also vowed not to vote APC because of the development. But Tinubu had insisted that he did not pick Shettima for religions reasons but on the ground of competence.
