This news outlet reported that except for any last-minute change that may happen, Tinubu will officially present Shettima to the APC National Working Committee (NWC) and its National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu on Wednesday, 20th July.
It will be recalled Tinubu on Sunday, July 4, in Daura Katsina State during a visit to President Muhammadu Buhari, unveiled former Borno State Governor, Shettima as his running mate.
