Shettima Urges Support for Tinubu's 2027 Re-election Bid

Vice President Kashim Shettima addressed the economic challenges Nigerians are facing due to the Federal Government’s economic reforms and urged voters to support the re-election of President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections. Speaking at the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally on Sunday at the U.J.

Esuene Stadium in Calabar, Cross River State, Shettima defended the administration's policies, asserting that the benefits of the reforms were beginning to surface despite current difficulties. He compared Tinubu’s leadership to that of Singapore’s former Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew, and insisted that the reforms required more time to yield results.

Shettima also called for support for Tinubu, Governor Bassey Otu, Deputy Governor Peter Odey, and APC candidates in the upcoming elections. Governor Otu highlighted various Federal Government infrastructure projects that would benefit Cross River State, including the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and the Bakassi Deep Seaport.

The rally was attended by Senate President Godswill Akpabio (Akwa Ibom North) and other political stakeholders.
