Vice President Kashim Shettima disclosed that only six northern governors supported the presidential ambition of Bola Tinubu in 2023, out of the 19 states in the region. The announcement was made during the turbaning ceremony of Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq as Sardauna of Ilorin at the palace of Emir of Ilorin. Shettima highlighted the tension during the 2023 presidential campaign and election, stating that many obstacles were placed in Tinubu's path to hinder his ambition.
Despite these challenges, Tinubu remained determined and pursued his goal. Shettima urged politicians not to view politics as a game of death, but rather to reconcile after contests. He also mentioned that President Tinubu forgave all northern governors who did not support him after the 2023 elections, emphasizing the importance of forgiveness in leadership.
The inauguration of a new 4,000-capacity garment factory and revenue service house in Kwara State by Shettima marked the occasion.
