APC North-East Meeting Turns Violent Over Shettima's Omission in Tinubu's Endorsement

The APC North-East stakeholders' meeting in Gombe State escalated into violence when Vice President Kashim Shettima was not endorsed alongside Bola Tinubu for a second term. Tensions flared as Mustapha Salihu openly backed Tinubu without mentioning Shettima, provoking an uproar among delegates.

Abdullahi Ganduje's speech further fueled unrest by omitting Shettima's name, causing chaos and physical confrontations among attendees. The event ended abruptly amid internal discord and perceived sidelining of the Vice President.
