This came just two weeks after the party’s national leader chose the lawmaker as his vice-presidential candidate.
Tinubu, a former Lagos State governor, and other APC stalwarts, including the party’s National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, unveiled Shettima on Wednesday at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja.
