Shettima's Visit to Ekiti Reflects Tinubu's Confidence

Kashim Shettima, the Vice President of Nigeria, is set to visit Ekiti State on Tuesday to inaugurate a 1.2-kilometer road project and other significant initiatives under Governor Biodun Oyebanji's administration. This visit, described by the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a demonstration of President Bola Tinubu's confidence in Oyebanji, aims to enhance collaboration between the federal and state governments for infrastructure and economic development.

The APC spokesperson, Segun Dipe, stated that the visit would reinforce the administration's commitment to delivering results for the people of Ekiti. The inauguration will include a groundbreaking ceremony for the Ekiti Knowledge Zone and other notable projects.

Shettima's presence is also seen as a strategic move ahead of the governorship elections scheduled for June 20, 2026, and the presidential elections in January 2027, signaling continued support for Oyebanji's administration and the APC's agenda.
