 The All Progressives Congress has postponed the official unveiling of former Borno State Governor, Kashim Shetima, as its vice presidential candidate for the 2023 general election.

Shetima was meant to have been presented to party members at the APC national Secretariat on Thursday, but an APC official told reporters the event has been moved forward.

He said a new date will be announced in due time and that the date would probably be sometime next week.
