Vice-President Kashim Shettima has called on eligible voters in northern Nigeria to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and ensure his re-election in the 2027 general elections. At the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign launch in Kaduna, Shettima noted that Tinubu had consistently supported northern politicians, including former President Muhammadu Buhari.

He urged the region to reciprocate the support by voting for Tinubu and other APC candidates. Shettima highlighted Tinubu's past assistance to Atiku Abubakar in 2007 and his strong backing for Buhari during his election campaigns in 2015 and 2019. The Vice-President defended the Tinubu-led administration, citing its achievements in Kaduna state, such as the establishment of universities and vocational institutes, as well as infrastructure projects like the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano gas pipeline, Kano-Maradun railway, and various road developments.
