The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) will formally unveil its vice presidential candidate for the 2023 poll, Senator Kashim Shettima to Nigerians on Wednesday.

A statement on Tuesday by the APC National Organising Secretary, Sulaiman Muhammad Argungu, said the event will take place at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja.

Shettima was meant to have been presented to party members at the APC national Secretariat on July 14, but an APC official told reporters the event had been moved forward.

APC’s Presidential flagbearer, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu had on July 10 announced the ex-governor and Senator representing Borno Central as his running mate in the 2023 general elections.
