Vice President Kashim Shettima on Thursday submitted President Bola Tinubu’s nomination and expression of interest forms to the national officers of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The Independent Mirror reports that Mr Shettima, who submitted the forms at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre, Abuja, urged APC governors, members of the National Assembly to support the President’s candidature.
He said Tinubu had demonstrated the ability to pull Nigeria out of the economic and social morass it had been enmeshed in.
Mr Shettima relied on the positive impact of the Renewed Hope Agenda of the Tinubu’s administration as the rallying call to give the President full backing to actualise his bid for a second term.
“His Excellency, Bola Tinubu, as he seeks to lead us for another four-year term.
“On behalf of our great party, I ask all Nigerians to support this nomination and, by the special grace of God, the candidacy of President Bola Tinubu in 2027 is victorious.”
While speaking the Speaker, House of Representatives, Rep. Tajudeen Abbas, applauded Tinubu’s leadership at a difficult time in Nigeria’s history.
Abbas assured of better days and a brighter future with the President at the helm of the nation’s affairs.
The National Chairman of APC, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, said the performances of Tinubu and APC’s governors were enough justification for the President’s re-election.
According to him, the party has done enough across different sectors of the economy to justify the President’s second term.
