The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has named Kashim Shettima as his running mate.
Mr Tinubu made the announcement on Sunday while on a visit to President Muhammadu Buhari in Daura, Katsina State.
Many Nigerians have condemned the promotion of a Muslim-Muslim ticket.
A Senior Advocate of Nigeria(SAN) Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa had last month also faulted the audacity of Muslim-Muslim ticket.
Despite the opposition, Mr Tinubu chose Mr Shettima as his running mate.
Mr Shettima, who currently represents Borno Central in the Senate, served as governor of Borno from 2011 to 2019.
He is from the same geopolitical zone -North-east, as Atiku Abubakar, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party.
