President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed optimism that the
All Progressives Congress (APC) will win the 2023 presidential election.
Buhari said this on Wednesday when he met with Kashim
Shettima, the APC vice-presidential candidate, at the state house in Abuja.
Earlier on Wednesday, the APC had unveiled Shettima, former
Borno governor, as the running mate to Tinubu, the party’s presidential
candidate.
According to a statement by Garba Shehu, presidential
spokesman, Buhari expressed delight over the choice of the former governor of
Borno as the APC’s vice-presidential candidate.
Shehu also said the former Borno governor delivered a
“flowery speech” in honour of Buhari at the meeting, adding that in a bid to
lighten up the mood after listening to Shettima, the president said he would
respond when he hands over to the APC candidates in 2023.
“I will respond to your speech when I am handing over to you
and your boss. God willing, you are going to win,” Buhari was quoted as saying.
“I wish you the best. Your consistency in the party is very
respectful. You served your two terms as Governor and finished well.
“You have kept touch
with your base. At every important occasion or event, you are maintaining
support for the one who succeeded you.
This is commendable.”
