Vice President Kashim Shettima on Thursday May 7 submitted President Bola Tinubu’s nomination and expression of interest forms to the national officers of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Shettima, who submitted the forms at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre, Abuja, urged APC governors, members of the National Assembly to support the President’s candidature.
He said Tinubu had demonstrated the ability to pull Nigeria out of the economic and social morass it had been enmeshed in. According to him, Tinubu has courageously steered the ship of state through choppy seas.
Shettima added that even though some of the decisions taken by the Tinubu’s administration seemed difficult, they were necessary to stabilise Nigeria’s economy and secure the nation’s future.
The Speaker, House of Representatives, Rep. Tajudeen Abbas, applauded Tinubu’s leadership at a difficult time in Nigeria’s history.
Abbas assured of better days and a brighter future with the President at the helm of the nation’s affairs.
The National Chairman of APC, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, said the performances of Tinubu and APC’s governors were enough justification for the President’s re-election.
He said the endorsement of the President for a second term by the National Working Committee of the party was premised on his sterling performance in critical sectors.
The Chairman, Progressives Governors Forum, Gov. Hope Uzodinma of Imo, said the party’s unanimous support for Tinubu was evident in the presence of majority of the governors present at the event.
He assured that the progressive governors would work assiduously for President’s re-election to enable him complete the good works he has started.
