Shettima Calls for South-East Support for Tinubu in 2027

Vice President Kashim Shettima addressed the South-East at the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally in Abakaliki, Ebonyi state, urging the region to renew President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s mandate in 2027. He emphasized the administration's investments in security, highways, agriculture, and enterprise, which he claimed are fostering economic growth.

Shettima noted that the federal government is addressing development constraints through various projects aimed at connecting communities and enhancing trade. He highlighted significant infrastructure initiatives, including the Calabar–Ebonyi–Benue–Kogi–Nasarawa–Abuja Superhighway and the Ndibe Bridge, which will link Ebonyi and Cross River states.

Shettima stated that better road connections would facilitate the movement of goods and improve market access for businesses. He also mentioned federal support for agriculture in Ebonyi, including fertiliser distribution and interest-free loans for farmers.

Shettima concluded by requesting the renewal of the mandate based on the administration's record of service and commitment to improving citizens' lives.
