Shettima Calls for Earned Northern Support for Tinubu
Vice President Kashim Shettima declared that political support from Northern Nigeria for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid must be earned through transparency, facts, and measurable governance results. Speaking on Saturday at the unveiling of the Arewa for Asiwaju (A4A) Campaign Head Office in Abuja, Shettima urged political leaders to engage citizens honestly about ongoing economic and security reforms.
He emphasized that political confidence should not be taken for granted and that government representatives must address economic challenges facing households. Shettima stated that the North has expressed its support with conviction, placing an obligation on officeholders.
He encouraged constructive criticism as vital to democracy and urged the A4A organization to listen to community feedback. Key political figures, including Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin and APC National Chairman Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, attended the event, pledging support for the administration ahead of the 2027 general elections.
