Garba Shehu, the president\u2019s spokesman, said Mr Buhari made the prediction when he received Senator Kashim Shettima, the running mate and vice-presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress at the State House, Abuja, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mr Shehu said the president struck a chord of humour while responding to a flowery speech by Mr Shettima, saying, \u201cI will respond to your speech when I am handing over to you and your boss. God willing, you are going to win.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

President Buhari, who received the VP candidate shortly after he was unveiled by the leadership of the party and Bola Tinubu, expressed delight over the choice of the former governor of Borno as running mate.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI wish you the best. Your consistency at the party is very respectful. You served your two terms as Governor and finished well.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cYou have kept in touch with your base. At every important occasion or event, you are maintaining support for the one who succeeded you. This is commendable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The president expressed strong optimism that the APC ticket would emerge victorious in 2023.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In his remarks, the vice presidential candidate thanked the president for his \u201cempathy, support and positive role,\u201d leading to his emergence as running mate to the APC presidential candidate.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He praised the president for having \u201ca special place in your heart for Borno and Northeast.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI can cite 20-30 instances of support you have rendered, for which you will be remembered.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He mentioned the establishment of the North East Development Commission (NEDC) and the Independent Power Plant for Maiduguri by the NNPC, \u201cafter many years of darkness.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He added that \u201cwords cannot describe our appreciation of your support.\u00a0 We will remain eternally grateful\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mr Shettima requested the president to appreciate his successor, Babagana Zulum who was in his company, along with the Minister of State, Agriculture, Mustapha Baba Shehuri, for spurning \u201crecurring mention\u201d of him and pressure from his governor colleagues to bid for the vice presidential ticket.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The candidate pledged to remain \u201cloyal and devoted\u201d to the president, promising that his Vice-Presidency will not be for the \u201ctroika of Hausa, Fulani and Kanuri,\u201d but for all Nigeria, irrespective of ethnicity, religion or geographical place of origin.<\/p>\n
