Nine Governors elected of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have declared their “total support” for Senator Kashim Shettima, the vice presidential candidate of the party in the 2023 polls.
They announced their decision after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in his Daura country home in Katsina State, on Monday.
Addressing journalists after the meeting, Chairman of the Progressives Governors Forum (PGF) and Kebbi state governor, Abubakar Bagudu said: “We were pleasantly surprised when Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu announced in Daura on Sunday that Senator Kashim Ibrahim Shettima was the Vice Presidential candidate.
“We were happy that it is no less a person than Senator Shettima who was announced the Vice Presidential candidate.
“No doubt, Senator Shettima would complement the good qualities of Asiwaju Tinubu.
“We are very very happy at the choice. The two will complement each other and will surely consolidate on the achievements of the President in the past seven years.”
