Dayo Adeyeye, a former senator from Ekiti, stated that despite the negative reactions to Kashim Shettima’s pick as his running mate, Bola Tinubu, the APC presidential candidate, will not withdraw that choice.

According to Anaedoonline.ng, many APC members and worried Nigerians have voiced their disapproval of Tinubu’s choice of the former governor of Borno State as his running partner for the 2023 presidential election.

Shettima will remain Tinubu’s running mate because he is capable and tolerant, the senator stated in an interview with Newsmen on Wednesday.

The presidential contender would not be forced to abandon Shettima to appease those who were against it, the National Chairman of the Southwest Agenda for Tinubu 2023 further stated.

Adeyeye advised Nigerians to place competence over religious sentiments and other issues of bigotry, adding that Tinubu has no such intention to Islamise Nigeria.

He said, “I believe that people will soon realise that this is a good ticket for Nigeria and that we should place competence over religious sentiments and other issues of bigotry. People will soon realise that Shettima is a tolerant person; he accommodated both Christians and Muslims when he was governor of Borno State.

“Now, if Tinubu could not Islamise his wife, how will he Islamise Nigeria? He has no such intention and that would never happen under his watch. He was a tolerant man while he was a governor of Lagos State and there was no discrimination in his treatment of his cabinet members. All his policies favoured the two religions.

“The same could be said about Shettima who went to the extent of rebuilding Churches destroyed by Boko Haram. Tinubu is not going to review or change this ticket because we believe it is a winning ticket and those who are against it are merely afraid we will win.”
