By Adeleye Kunle

Senator Ganiyu Olanrewaju Solomon of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has praised Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s choice of Senator Kashim Shettima as his running mate for the upcoming presidential elections in 2023.

Congratulating the former Borno State governor, Solomon, who represented Lagos West in the National Assembly’s upper chambers from 2007 to 2011, said it would improve Tinubu’s chances of becoming Nigeria’s next president in 2023.

“Following his recent run-away victory at the party primaries in Abuja, I had always believed that Asiwaju Tinubu would provide Nigerians with the best and most suitable running mate for the presidential elections.”

“I have no doubt that the party’s nominees have the qualities to win the presidency in 2023.”

Solomon, also known as ‘GOS’ among his supporters, has therefore urged the party hierarchy, Tinubu’s co-contestants in the primaries, and all members across the country to rally behind the candidates in order for them to become the next occupants of the Aso Rock Villa.

“Now that the wait for Tinubu’s running mate is over,” Solomon continued, “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
