The choice of Shettima as Tinubu’s running mate has triggered heated debate on the grounds that the two of them are Muslims.
But in a statement yesterday, the Tinubu Campaign Organisation (TCO) Director, Media and Communication, Bayo Onanuga, said religion or ethnicity were far from the calculations of the party and its presidential candidate, Tinubu, in the choice of Shettima.
