Shettima Urges Northern Unity for Tinubu's 2027 Re-election
On October 13, Vice President Kashim Shettima called for unity among northern leaders to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's re-election bid for the 2027 presidential election. During a courtesy visit from the Arewa for Tinubu (A4A) think tank, Shettima assured the North that there is nothing to fear from a second term for Tinubu, citing substantial benefits the region has received, including appointments and projects.
He emphasized the administration's commitment to the North's future prosperity and stability, referencing the disbursement of N450 billion by the Bank of Agriculture to 700,000 smallholder farmers, with 70 percent of beneficiaries from the North. Ibrahim Shekarau, Chairman of A4A's Board of Trustees, reiterated the organization's goal to replicate their 2023 election success in 2027.
Abubakar Badaru, Director General of the Area for Asiwaju, mentioned ongoing discussions with religious leaders and stakeholders to garner support for the Tinubu/Shettima ticket.
