APC chieftain dumps party over Tinubu’s choice of running mate
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Daniel Bwala, on Sunday, dumped the ruling party after its presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, announced Kashim Shettima, as his running mate.
Bwala, a special adviser to the deputy senate president on legal matters, stated that the efforts and energy of the ruling party should be in uniting Nigerians at such a time and not otherwise.
His tweets read: “Tonight I officially resigned my membership of @OfficialAPCNg on principles and conviction that I hold so dear. At this time of our national existence, our efforts and energy should gravitate towards uniting our people.

“Asiwaju has announced Kashim Shetima as his running mate. Kwankwaso is planning to announce a Pentecostal Bishop as his running mate. Interesting times lie ahead.”
Speaking on his decision to opt for the controversial same religion ticket, Tinubu had said his selection of a running mate is beyond religion and ethnicity.
The former Lagos governor said what mattered the most was “competence in governance”.
