Shettima Assures APC Supporters of Tinubu's Strength in 2027
Vice-President Kashim Shettima stated that President Bola Tinubu has nothing to fear from opposition parties in Northern Nigeria as the country approaches the 2027 general elections. Speaking at the commissioning of the Arewa for Asiwaju (A4A) National Secretariat, Shettima urged members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to resolve internal conflicts and unite behind Tinubu's re-election campaign.
He expressed confidence that the North would provide more votes for Tinubu in 2027 than in the 2023 presidential election, where the APC secured 60.2 percent of his votes in the region. Shettima pointed to the APC's electoral successes in states like Benue, where the party won by 310,460 votes, and noted the party's growing influence in Kaduna and Kano.
He emphasized that the main challenge for the APC is not the opposition but internal divisions, urging party members to support their leaders and work collectively for electoral victories.
