All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftains, Senator Ganiyu Olanrewaju Solomon has hailed the decision of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in picking Senator Kashim Shettima as his running mate for the forthcoming presidential elections in 2023.
Congratulating the former Borno State governor, Solomon, who represented Lagos West in the upper chambers of the National Assembly between 2007 and 2011, said it would enhance Tinubu’s chances of becoming Nigeria’s next president come 2023.
“I had always believed that Asiwaju Tinubu would give Nigerians the best and most suitable running mate for the presidential elections following his recent run-away victory at the party primaries held in Abuja.
“I have no doubt that the party flag-bearers possess the qualities to clinch the presidency come 2023.”
Solomon, popularly known as ‘GOS’ among his supporters, therefore, called on the party hierarchy, Tinubu’s co-contestants in the primaries, and all members across the country to rally around the candidates to ensure that they become the next occupants of the Aso Rock Villa.
“Now that the wait for Tinubu’s running mate is over, I’ll enjoin all party loyalists, including the Asiwaju co-contestants in the last primaries, party leaders, and all members across the length and breadth of this country to close ranks and ensure that Tinubu and his vice become the next occupants of the Aso Villa after the duo of Muhammadu Buhari and Prof. Yemi Osinbajo leave on May 29 next year,” Solomon added.
