Shettima Urges APC Loyalty, Rejects Rainbow Coalition

Vice President Kashim Shettima has publicly rejected the Rainbow Coalition, which is led by Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory. During an APC presidential campaign rally in Lafia, Nasarawa State, Shettima urged supporters to vote exclusively for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the upcoming 2027 general election.

He emphasized that the coalition, which aims to support President Bola Tinubu's re-election while backing candidates from other parties for various legislative positions, is not acceptable. Shettima stated that the presidency would not endorse such an arrangement, insisting on a unified vote for the APC across all positions.

He reiterated the importance of a clean sweep for the party, stating, “APC from top to bottom, APC from bottom to top.” Shettima also highlighted that President Tinubu is committed to delivering dividends of democracy to the people of Nasarawa State, focusing on investments in infrastructure such as roads, education, and solid minerals.
