By Tgnews

As the 2027 Presidential Election draws near, speculation is up in the air about the fate of Vice President Kashim Shettima. Despite his impressive performance and loyalty to President Bola Tinubu, some APC stakeholders seem hesitant to endorse him for a second term.

However, I strongly believe that retaining Shettima as President Tinubu’s running mate is not only the right decision but also a strategic move that will guarantee the APC’s victory in 2027.

Shettima’s value to the APC cannot be overstated. As a seasoned politician from the North East, he brings a unique set of skills and experiences that complement President Tinubu’s leadership style. His loyalty and dedication to the party’s ideals are unwavering, and his commitment to the Tinubu administration’s policies has been exemplary.

Moreover, Shettima’s presence on the ticket will ensure that the APC maintains its strong foothold in the North East and the North in general. His influence and popularity in the region will be crucial in mobilizing support for the party, particularly in states like Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Gombe and Bauchi.

But beyond the politics, there is a deeper reason why VP Shettima must remain on the ticket. Let is be cristal clear that he North East Zone will no longer watch the North West Zone dominate her as if the North East no longer matter. We will no longer be treated like second-class citizens in the APC. VP Shettima’s retention is not just about politics; it is about fairness, justice, and equality.

For too long, the North East has been marginalized and excluded from the top echelons of power. But with Shettima on the ticket, we have a voice, we have a seat at the table, and we have a chance to shape the destiny of our great Nation.

Replacing Shettima with a new running mate would not only be a risky gamble but also a costly mistake. It would create unnecessary tension and divisions within the party, potentially alienating key stakeholders and supporters in the North East.

President Tinubu’s best chance of winning a second term in 2027 lies in retaining Vice President Kashim Shettima as his running mate. Shettima’s loyalty, experience, and influence makes him an invaluable asset to the APC, and his presence on the ticket will be a decisive factor in the party’s success.

Retaining VP Kashim Shettima GCON, President Tinubu will not only be rewarding loyalty and hard work but also sending a strong message to the North East Zone that their voices matter, their votes count, and their region is valued. It will be a testament to the APC’s commitment to fairness, justice, and equality.

Furthermore, Shettima’s retention will help to maintain the delicate balance of power within the party, avoiding unnecessary tensions and divisions that could arise from replacing him. It will also reassure key stakeholders and supporters in the North East that the APC remains committed to their interests and well-being.

We will no longer be treated like second-class citizens in the APC

In the end, the decision to retain Shettima is not just about politics; it is about doing what is right, just, and fair. It is about recognizing the value of loyalty, hard work, and dedication. And it is about ensuring that the APC remains a party that truly represents the interests of all Nigerians, regardless of their region or ethnicity.

I urge President Tinubu and the APC Leadership to make the right decision, to stand by Shettima, and to give the North East Zone the respect, recognition, and representation they deserve. The fate of the APC and the future of Nigeria depend on it.
