[BREAKING] 2027 Elections: “Why VP Shettima Deserves Support from North,” Shehu Sani Speaks
Amid early moves to unseat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections, former Senator representing Kaduna Central, Comrade Shehu Sani, has called on the people of Northern Nigeria to rally behind Vice President Kashim Shettima.
Shehu Sani described VP Shettima as a symbol of political representation, responsibility, and decorum for the region.
In a post shared on his official Facebook page on Wednesday, April 9, the human rights activist and public affairs commentator highlighted Shettima’s strategic importance to the North.
Shehu Sani, who recently defected to the APC, urged leaders and citizens alike to treat him with respect and offer their full support to the Vice President.
“The Vice President Kashim Shettima is the highest political office holder from the North,” Sani wrote.
Continuing, Sani said:
“He has been performing his function with utmost respect, decorum, sense of responsibility and restraint. It’s in the best interest of the region to own him, treat him with respect and support him to advance and protect the legitimate and constitutional interests of the region.”
Sani, who served in the 8th National Assembly, emphasised the need for regional unity and long-term planning to address the challenges facing Northern Nigeria.
“I look forward to the day the North will sit down in one hall; serving and past leaders from the region, industrialists, academics, scientists, religious leaders, artists, sportsmen and youths, and come out with a master plan on how to develop and advance the region and rescue it from the abyss of poverty, underdevelopment and terrorism,” he added.
