It is now time for the north to repay the electoral support that the party’s nominee, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has given the area over the years, according to Senator Kashim Shettima, the APC’s vice presidential candidate.
Speaking yesterday in Abuja at the inauguration of the Tinubu/Shettima Door-To-Door grassroots mobilization campaign trucks sponsored by the Northern APC State Assembly Speakers, Shettima claimed that the APC presidential candidate had always given the North his all.
He emphasized Tinubu’s contribution to giving former vice president Atiku Abubakar, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, and President Muhammadu Buhari platforms to pursue their presidential dreams in 2007 and 2015.
He said “In 2007 when the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) dehumanised and chased former Vice President Atiku Abubakar out of the party, it was Asiwaju Tinubu who offered him the platform of the Action Congress (AC) on which he contested the 2007 presidential election,”
