Tinubu forgave Northern govs who opposed him in 2023, says Shettima

President Tinubu has forgiven northern governors who opposed his 2023 presidential bid, according to Vice President Kashim Shettima. Shettima made this statement at the palace of the Emir of Ilorin, where he also revealed that only six out of 19 northern governors supported Tinubu's presidential ambition.

The Vice President noted that despite the opposition, Tinubu remained determined and was able to achieve his goal. He also urged Nigerian politicians to reconcile after contests, rather than seeing politics as a game-of-death.

According to Shettima, Tinubu's forgiveness was extended to all northern governors who did not support him, after the 2023 elections. This was reported by the Daily Post Nigeria.
