Shettima Calls for Northern Support for Tinubu's 2027 Bid
On October 12, 2026, Vice President Kashim Shettima hosted a delegation from Arewa for Tinubu (A4A) at Aso Rock, urging northern leaders and citizens to support President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid for the 2027 general elections. Shettima asserted that the region has nothing to fear from a second term for Tinubu, citing the administration's tangible benefits, including the Bank of Agriculture's disbursement of N450 billion to 700,000 smallholder farmers, with approximately 70 percent of beneficiaries from the north.
Abubakar Badaru, Director General of A4A, announced plans for intensified grassroots mobilization across northern communities, engaging both Muslim and Christian leaders to build support for the Tinubu/Shettima ticket. Ibrahim Shekarau, former Governor and Chairman of A4A's Board of Trustees, confirmed the establishment of a fully operational secretariat to coordinate efforts.
He invited Shettima to commission the A4A office complex on October 17, 2027. Notable attendees included former governors and key political figures.
