Kashim Shettima as its 2023 Vice-Presidential candidate.<\/p>\n<p>The party made the appeal in a statement by its Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Murtala Ajaka, on Monday in Abuja.  <\/p>\n<p>The party was reacting to sentiments being expressed by Nigerians especially opposition political parties on APC\u2019s choice of Shettima.<\/p>\n<p>Recall that Sen. Bola Tinubu, APC\u2019s 2023 presidential candidate in Daura, Katsina State, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/07\/11\/2023-why-i-didnt-choose-christian-running-mate-tinubu\/\">announced Shettima, a Muslim and a former two-term Governor of Borno, as his running mate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Tinubu, also a former two-term Governor of Lagos State and one of the leaders of the APC, had gone to Daura to pay Sallah homage on President Muhammadu Buhari.<\/p>\n<p>Shettima is currently representing Borno Central in the National Assembly.<\/p>\n<p>Ajaka, while commending Tinubu\u2019s choice, said the fears being expressed in some quarters only existed in the imagination of opposition political parties.<\/p>\n<p>The APC spokesman described Shettima as the best choice for the APC to win the forthcoming 2023 presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the opposition parties, especially the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), had been thrown off balance since Shettima was announced as APC\u2019s Vice-Presidential candidate, hence the noise and their agony.<\/p>\n<p>Ajaka said Shettima was a man of knowledge,  accomplishment, courage and integrity, who was not given to bigotry, or having corruption badges with any anti-corruption agencies.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the sterling qualities of Shettima as APC\u2019s Vice-Presidential candidate, had once again thrown the opposition parties off balance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe PDP and others would have preferred our presidential candidate to settle for the less to make it easy for them to win election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the choice of the trusted and trust worthy Shettima must have disorganised their evil plans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile we sympathise with the opposition parties, we appeal to Nigerians, who will eventually be the beneficiaries of good governance under Tinubu-Shettima presidency, to see beyond the sentiments of religion and tribe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Sen. Kashim Shettima are not religious fundamentalists or ultra Muslims, their records in public offices are testimonies to rely on,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ajaka recalled that as a two-term former governor of Borno, Shettima enjoyed the support of the Christian community throughout his tenure as testified by the state\u2019s chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).<\/p>\n<p>He added that there was no government in the history of Borno that had been fair to the christain community as much as that of Shettima.<\/p>\n<p>He said Shettima as Governor of Borno, sponsored the highest number of Christian pilgrims yearly from 2011 till he left office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis and many other records of mutual respect for all faiths, are there to verify in Borno,\u201d Ajaka said.<\/p>\n<p>He, however, added that the APC and its presidential candidate would not be distracted from the goal of winning the 2023 general elections at all levels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBorno has the largest votes in the North-East where Kashim Shettima has been governor for eight years and now a Senator and still politically relevant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf APC had enjoyed massive support from this state and the entire North-East and the emergence of Shettima as our Vice-Presidential candidate will deny the candidate of the PDP a smooth ride in the zone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think APC and our presidential candidate are politically correct because our main goal for now is to emerge victorious in the coming elections, not forgetting  competence which Shettima represents,\u201d he said<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The All Progressives Congress (APC) has appealed to Nigerians to disregard the concerns of those who are opposed to the party\u2019s choice of Sen.
