Some Governors on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC are said to be unhappy with the emergence of Ex-Borno Senator, Kashim Shettima as the running mate to APC Presidential flagbearer, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

POLITICS NIGERIA learned that the Governors are scheduled to meet with President Buhari today in Daura, to formally register their displeasure before deciding their next move.

Tinubu, had long submitted a list of possible running mates to the president for some time now, on which Buhari had refused to act, he then seized the initiative since deadline is Friday, July 15, and formally announced Shettima before the cut-off date.

The announcement immediately created a row in the party as some of the governors, who worked tirelessly to ensure Tinubu clinched the ticket, considered the manner he broke the news ‘arrogant’ and against the understanding he had with them.

To this end, the governors, a majority of them from the North West did not have issues with the choice of Shettima but how Tinubu ignored all the understanding they shared to announce the name.

It was gathered that the Governors and Tinubu had been in a constant ‘back and forth’ over who will emerge as his running mate. They had started considering pandering to Tinubu since his sentiment appealed to Shettima.

To achieve this, the governors were said to have agreed with Tinubu that the unveiling would be done with them present, to show consent and agreement.

However, going ahead to announce as if they did not matter in the equation, more so that some of them were uncomfortable with the Muslim-Muslim idea, angered them.

Aside the governors, Senator Abbo, from Adamawa, who was on some of the Tinubu support groups and committees, sent out a a scathing message, in which he expressed his disappointment in Tinubu, for going against popular counsel to choose a Muslim-Muslim ticket.

Abbo, who promised to formally send in his resignation letters today, said if as an ordinary citizen, Tinubu has refused to listen to counsel, then, he would be worse as president and subsequently resigned his membership of all the committees.

It can be recalled on Sunday night, another top member of the party, Daniel Bwala resigned over the ‘Muslim-Muslim’ ticket saga.

Bwala wrote on social media; “Tonight, I officially resigned my membership of @OfficialAPCng on principles and conviction that I hold so dear. At this time of our national existence, our efforts and energy should gravitate towards uniting our people.”

Evil party....

Christians this is the right time to show Tinubu that you people are not second class citizen in this country, this is high time to show Tinubu that you people are not inconsequential as he clearly shows you people that you people are nothing in Nigeria

Assuming a christian won the major political party ticket and goes on to picked a christian as his running mate, by now jihad would've been declared by Muslim fanatics up north on Christians there, the foolish and usêlèss Muric would've wrote his long epistle crying endlessly. Christians if una like make una mumu, una think say Dem like una? Do the mistake of voting in this thing, and live to regret forever, remember how Buhari regime is with Christians.

I like the fact that sometimes peoples opinion

Really doesn't matter.

Tinubu is simply following the footsteps of

Buhari.

They do their own things regardless of what people thinks .


Vote Tinubu.

Vote APC!

Tinubu just wasted APC ticket.

Ticket he would have left for Osinbajo but he foolishly insisted on “Emi Lo Kan”.

Now if Tinubu gets third position he should be happy.

BAT/SHETTIMA23 issa goal
Tinubu the master strategist, on your mandate i stand gidigba.......

I am laughing at the hypocrites jubilating on the choice of Shettima as VP, decamping is just starting from 15th of this month

this one never sees what is in the oven

Tinubu has proven to be an insensitive leader.

One who will put his own personal interests, above those of a majority...

Well this has always been who he is.

But he might succeed tho, unfortunately.

Tinubu camp will be like
Shebi we have picked a muslim vp what else do they want

Wahala for Oleibu of Borgu lagoon.

Nothing to say for now until July 15.

Oleibu will not cross confluence bridge at Lokoja.

God will continue to confuse them.

The shaking Tinubu is already under the control of Hausa/Fulani.

Yoruba be ass-licking Hausa/Fulani with pleasure

I'm super excited, each time I see the tears of IPOB and their Yeastern collaborators. Imagine a 25 year old boy from the yeast who has wailed in the last 7 years will wail for at least the next 16 years of his life, meaning he wails for 24 years. This is pathetic, why not leave what you can't influence alone for the influencers.

you get choice? Even if Tinubu chose goat as his running mate you will still support regardless.

Massive Tsunami is coming. Trust me the consequences is going to be so disastrous and devastating for Tinubu and APC.

Xscape1993:
Evil party....

Join the obidient party to take Nigeria from this self inflicted darkness. Tinubu is going nowhere.

When winning an election now matters, they puff up junk piles with so much importance, touchy, on their laundered dignity and image and make it a grand affair.

Some candidates are just not sellable

Don't be misled, they don't have your interest at heart

Vote really wisely

It's your chance now to make a difference

All reasonable and sensitive Nigerian must work in unison to stop this wicked plot by Tinubu and APC.... A muslim-muslim ticket is a NO NO NO NO for sensible Nigerians irrespective of religion and Region

northern governor's are now ipob ? The brain of an urchin.

This shows how desperate APC are to retain power.

Their major aim is to retain power. They show no regard for competence, equity and fairness.

In the struggle to retain power, the best option was to field either Kashim, Shettima or Rufai. And truth be told, that's the only way they may stand a chance to win.

So these ones that are angry are crying over spilled milk. Nothing will change

Useless and evil party, tinubu is too tribalism even in religion , na wahoo , the man will cause war in Nigeria if elected Nigeria president ....

The governors wanted El rufai. They can't hold Tinubu to ransom forever. Buhari will tell them to go and work for the party. Simple!

By the way, shettima has not been unveiled yet.

Advocate500:

It's the tears of Yeasterners in disguise. Tinubu had thorough and wide consultations with all stakeholders, even beyond the shores of Nigeria, especially with those that matter in the scheme of running Nigeria, before he came up with a good choice of his Running Mate. So forget about the fake news from the blogging team of IPOB and yeastern Jews there's no Governor of APC being disgruntled, because they were all duely and respectfully consulted, before the final decision was taken.

APC is a sunk ship.

Quote me in 2023.

Useless Man
