2027: Shettima urges the North to reciprocate Tinubu’s support

Vice President Kashim Shettima urged Nigerians in the north to re-elect Bola Tinubu in 2027, calling it fair reciprocation for the president’s longstanding support for northern politicians. Speaking Saturday at the APC presidential campaign launch in Kaduna, he recalled Tinubu’s support for Muhammadu Buhari, Atiku Abubakar in 2007 and Nuhu Ribadu. Shettima defended the administration’s record, citing education and health facilities in Kaduna State and gas pipeline, railway and road projects across northern Nigeria. He also said work was advancing on the Sokoto-Badagry highway and promised further projects for the region if Tinubu returned to office.
