Shettima Urges Respectful Defeat of Atiku in Elections
On Saturday, Vice President Kashim Shettima addressed supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja during the unveiling of the Arewa for Asiwaju (A4A) campaign headquarters. He called for a respectful defeat of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar in the upcoming elections.
Shettima expressed greater concern about internal party disagreements than the opposition's activities, stating he was not afraid of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) or diminished Peter Obi. He warned northern political leaders against prioritizing the presidential election at the expense of APC governors and other candidates in state elections.
Shettima urged party unity to ensure the APC retains power in the 2027 elections, rallying support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other party members. He asserted that the North had shown support for Tinubu's second-term ambition and called for intensified mobilization as elections approach, emphasizing the need to address Nigerians' concerns.
