Shettima Commissions Arewa Secretariat In Lagos


 



 The all Progressives Congress (APC),  vice presidential candidate Sen. Kashim Shettima, on Wednesday commissioned the secretariat of the party’s Arewa Community in Lagos.


Shettima also donated N10 million to support the activities of the Arewa community ahead of the 2023 general elections.


Speaking at the commissioning in Somolu, the APC vice presidential candidate described the presidential candidate of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, as a detribalized politician who had supported candidates from different ethnics in past general elections.


 


“Asiwaju’s trajectory from 2007,2011,2015 and 2019 when he gave his all to ensure President Mohammadu Buhari’s victory shows he has been a detribalized Nigerian ever since. We must do all we can to ensure his victory come February 2023″, said Shettima.


He pledged to work with the Chairman of Lagos APC Arewa Community, Engr Abdullahi Saadu on campaign activities, acknowledging the mobilisation prowess of the Arewa Leader.


Also, the Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abdullahi Ganduje, said Tinubu is a patriotic politician, saying that” Tinubu has been able to ensure peace amongst diverse cultures in Lagos”.


“The peace enjoyed in Lagos today with diverse cultures cohabiting without friction is part of his legacy. Tinubu has quality more than Atiku. Forcing yourself to do something is better than you been forced to do something”, said Ganduje.


In his remarks, Engineer Saadu charged all members of Arewa community to get their PVCS ready in order to vote APC candidates across board.


” We all are going to use our PVC to vote our candidates all the way”,he added.
