Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, announced his running mate, Kashim Shettima yesterday.<\/p>\n

Tinubu unveiled Shettima after his meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in Daura, Katsina State.<\/p>\n

His decision came after his placeholder, Kabiru Masari had stepped down from the role.<\/p>\n

With the deadline set for submission of running mates, Tinubu had sent Masari\u2019s name to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.<\/p>\n

At some point, Tinubu made Nigerians believe that Masari was his running mate until yesterday when he disclosed his final decision.<\/p>\n

But, Nigerians had frowned at the decision of the APC presidential candidate to settle for a Muslim-Muslim ticket.<\/p>\n

However, a socio-political commentator, Deji Adeyanju, pointed out why Tinubu opted for a Muslim-Muslim ticket against the agitation from many Nigerians.<\/p>\n

Adeyanju suggested that lack of quality opposition in Nigeria made Tinubu opt for a Muslim-Muslim ticket.<\/p>\n

In a series of tweets, Adeyanju described opposition in Nigeria as useless and divided.<\/p>\n

According to Adeyanju: \u201cThe reason they can dare such a brazen move of Muslim-Muslim ticket is because they know the opposition is useless and divided. And they will win if the opposition doesn\u2019t heed my wise counsel.<\/p>\n

\u201cTinubu and the APC are saying they don\u2019t give a damn. The message of the Muslim-Muslim ticket is too loud. In fact, they are having a good laugh and with a divided opposition, they will laugh harder in February.\u201d<\/p>\n
