Vice President Kashim Shettima has assured Northern leaders that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s second term will bring prosperity and stability to the region. Shettima made this statement when he received a delegation from the Arewa for Tinubu (A4A), a northern-based think tank, aiming to secure the reelection of President Tinubu.

Speaking to the delegation, Shettima emphasized the benefits that the North has reaped from the current administration, including the Bank of Agriculture's N450 billion disbursement to 700,000 smallholder farmers, with a significant portion coming from the North. Additionally, he highlighted the completion of groundbreaking projects across the country and reassured that President Tinubu is committed to the welfare of the North.

A4A Chairman and former Kano State Governor, Ibrahim Shekarau, echoed these sentiments, stating that the organization's goal is to repeat its success in 2027 by rallying Northern leaders and citizens in support of President Tinubu's re-election bid. Key figures from various Northern states, including former Governors and high-ranking government officials, attended the meeting to discuss the upcoming elections and collaborate on strategies to ensure a strong showing for the Tinubu/Shettima ticket.
