As the 2023 election gathers steam, Senator Kashim Shettima, the running mate of Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate for 2023 general election, has said contrary to what critics are bandying about, the former Lagos State governor has no plan to Islamise Nigeria.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Shettima, a two-term former governor of Borno State, said this on Friday when he hosted members of APC Professionals` Forum at his Abuja residence.
“Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu; yes, his running mate might be a Muslim, but his life mate for over 40 years is not only a Christian, but a pastor at the Redeemed Christian Church of God,” Shettima said.
“He did not enforce his own Islamic faith on his own children. He was the first governor to hand over mission schools to the owners, and he has groomed people from all walks of life.
“I think we have to look at the larger picture.”
