Omo-Agege Drops Shocking Update On APC VP Slot – See Details

By Adeleye Kunle

Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, Deputy Senate President and Delta All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship candidate, congratulated Senator Kashim Shettima on his selection as the APC’s vice presidential candidate in the 2023 general election.

Ima Niboro, Omo-Agege, Director, Communications and Media Strategy, described Shettima as detribalised and visionary, and a major plus for the APC presidential ticket, in a congratulatory message.

He recalled how the former Borno State governor and National Assembly lawmaker representing Borno Central senatorial district played a key role in his own election as Deputy Senate President in 2019.

“He was and continues to be an important figure not only in the National Assembly, but in our country as a whole.” He is a big-hearted and forward-thinking leader, inclusive in outlook and free of bigotry. Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, our presidential candidate, could not have made a better choice.

“It comes as no surprise,” Omo-Agege continued, “that the Borno State Chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has immediately risen in support of Shettima’s selection as Tinubu’s running mate.”

He stated that the APC Vice Presidential candidate was welcoming to people of other faiths and ethnic groups during his tenure as Governor of Borno State from 2011 to 2019.

“As governor of a predominantly Kanuri state, he had an Ibo Christian from Anambra State, an Urhobo Christian from Delta Central senatorial district, a Christian from Edo State, a Yoruba Christian from the Southwest, a Fulani man from Gombe, and a Hausa man from Zamfara among his closest aides,” he said.

He described the Vice Presidential candidate as an outspoken, forthright, and vocal politician who speaks truth to power.

“Senator Shettima is a tenacious professional, a rare breed banker, an agricultural economist, and a politician who inspires a new generation of leaders.”

“His extensive experience in executive and legislative business, public and corporate governance, and public and corporate governance will always be useful in steering the ship of state.” “I urge Nigerians to rally behind the Tinubu/Shettima ticket and vote massively for APC in all positions in the general elections in 2023.”
