<\/div>\nGombe governor Inuwa Yahaya advises Nigerians to pay more attention to the accomplishments that their leaders may offer than to their faith.<\/p>\n
When discussing the Muslim-Muslim ticket put out by the All Progressives Congress (APC), Yahaya made this statement in an interview that was released by BBC Hausa on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Regardless of religion or tribe, according to the governor, leadership has an impact on everyone.<\/p>\n
Bola Tinubu, the APC\u2019s presidential contender for 2023, announced Kashim Shettima as his running mate on July 10. Shettima was formerly the governor of Borno state.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are a lot of things to consider before picking a running mate,\u201d Yahaya said.<\/p>\n
