APC Northwest Reclamation Front has expressed support for the continuation of the Tinubu/Shettima ticket ahead of the 2027 elections.

In a statement issued in Kano and signed by the coordinator, Hisham Habib and the deputy coordinator special duties Safwan Isah Umar, the front said Vice President Kashim Shettima remains the best choice for the All Progressive Congress as running mate for President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

The ANRF said the leadership of the party and Nigerians cannot afford to lose Mr Shettima who as the number two citizen will undoubtedly leave a vacuum if dropped from the lofty race and urged the President to intervene in the interest of the party and the nation at large.

It extolled the indispensable leadership qualities of Mr Shettima who as governor in Borno state left a legacy and who has shown a great ability in supporting the president’s renewed hope program with utmost loyalty.

The group said after consultation with stakeholders from Kano, Kaduna, Katsina, Sokoto, Jigawa, Kebbi and Zamfara, a unanimous decision was reached to support another Tinubu/ Kashim ticket and to appeal to the agitated sides to sheathe the swords in the interest of peace and stability.

“As a leader from the North we see Shettima poised towards bringing the desired dividends of democracy to a united North and a wider consultation will be the best way to resolve all internal misunderstanding within our great party,” the statement noted.

The ANRF also commended the efforts of the party leadership while reiterating the need to support women and youth who are always downtrodden in the scheme of things.
