Shettima, Yilwatda, Yari, Abbas Rally Nasarawa For Tinubu’s Victory

Vice-President Kashim Shettima, alongside APC National Chairman Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, led an All Progressives Congress (APC) delegation to Lafia on Wednesday for the party's presidential campaign rally in Nasarawa State. The rally aimed to rally support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general election, ensuring a straight-ticket victory for the party.

The event attracted party leaders, National Assembly members, APC governors, and thousands of supporters across the state.

Shettima addressed the crowd, emphasizing that voting for Tinubu and other APC candidates would bring more dividends of democracy to Nasarawa State and the entire country. He highlighted the state's significant benefits from national reforms, such as the Lafia bypass linking the state to Benue and the Nasarawa-Plateau-Bauchi-Gombe highway project.

Shettima also stated that the Tinubu administration has prioritized Nasarawa through investments in road infrastructure, education, and solid minerals development, committing to sustaining this momentum in a second term.

Prof. Yilwatda commended Nasarawa's strategic importance to the party's electoral calculations in the North-central region and praised the state's stakeholders for their unity and organization. Speaker Abbas expressed that the relationship between the National Assembly and the Executive has never been better, with the passage of 78 bills in three years to support the Renewed Hope Agenda.

Senator Ahmed Wadada, a potential APC candidate, also attended the rally, with his supporters chanting his name during the event. Other federal and state lawmakers, members of the Progressive Governors Forum, and APC stakeholders from all 13 local government areas of the state were present.
