Why is the northeast being sidelined in a party like APC? – Chillariye

The former chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Yobe State, and adviser on nongovernmental affairs to Governor Mai Mala Buni, CON, Alhaji Adamu Abdu Chillariye has expressed his grievances on how the Northeast is being marginalized by some parts of the country.
He said people in some part of the country are acting like the Northeast is not part of Nigeria because anything concerning the Northeast for development, they will quickly kick against it.
Alhaji Adamu Abdu Chillariye disclosed this in a special interview with NEWSng in Damaturu, the state capital.
He said, like the Northwest seat, they together endorse President Ahmed Bola Tinubu alone for a second term without mentioning Kashim Shettima as his deputy.
“Where is Kashim Shettima, his vice? Why will they not endorse President Tinubu and Kashim Shettima at the same time to continue in 2027? What is the reason behind why they will not mention Kashim for the second time as a Tinubu vice?” Chillariye queries.
“I want to draw the attention of the Northeast in general. What are they doing? This Kashim is our son, and all that they assigned him to do, he did it very well, and if some part of the country will endorse Tinubu alone to continue, why, we in the Northeast, would not come out and say Kashim Shettima should continue with Tinubu?” he said.
He appealed to northeast stakeholders. What are they doing? We are hearing rumors that they will drop Kashim Shettima in 2027. Despite that, we are not sure of it, but if it is true, what is his fault or what offense did he commit? Let the northeast know that this Kashim is our son. We must show to the world that we want Kashim to continue together with his boss Tinubu in 2027.
Chillariye revealed that, since this party is our own, we wouldn’t reject it, and we would not allow any party to defeat our great party, APC. We will try our best to see that it wins the presidential seat. So why would we not show him our solidarity to continue with him in the 2027 election?
“Anything meant for the Northeast, they will say we should not do it. Are we not a part of Nigeria, or are we foreigners? In fact, we are original Nigerians, and we know some of them are from Niger. We are advising the party, and we thank the national chairman of the party for saying openly that Kashim will continue with Tinubu.
Alhaji Adamu Abdu Chillariye maintained that if the South-South says Tinubu should continue, the Northwest will say Tinubu should continue, so why in the Northeast would we not say Kashim and Tinubu should continue together? Therefore, I use this medium to continue with the propaganda for this campaign before the Northeast stakeholders to sit and assure the world that Kashim Shettima should continue with Tinubu.
“Kashim Shettima is the most loyal vice president, and since they started together, let’s allow them to complete their second term together, and what we need from our people now is support and prayers, because some people are supporting their own. Why would we not support our own, please?” Chillariye added.
