Shettima Encourages Northern Artists to Back Tinubu's Re-election

On September 30, Vice President Kashim Shettima called on northern-based professionals in the creative industry to support the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during a meeting with a delegation of Northern Performing Artists at the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign office in Abuja. Shettima stated that the northern region would significantly benefit from Tinubu's administration's creative economy initiatives.

He emphasized that the President deserves collective support from the north, as his government is implementing policies to empower local talent and stimulate cultural preservation. Shettima assured the delegation that targeted interventions would continue to support regional artists, filmmakers, and musicians.

Senator Abdulaziz Yari, Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, stated that Tinubu's re-election would be based on facts and achievements, urging creative professionals to disregard claims of northern exclusion. Aminu Bello Masari and Abdullahi Umar Ganduje also expressed gratitude for the support from the creative industry and encouraged unity for Tinubu's re-election.
