Why Northern Region Will Not Be Excluded From Tinubu’s Administration – Shettima
Kashim Shettima, the All Progressives Congress (APC) vice presidential candidate, has explained why the north will not be sidelined from his principal, Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Mr Shettima stated this on Sunday night during Fashin Baki, a live Facebook discussion program hosted by Bulama Bukarti, Nasir Zango, Abba Hikima, and Jaafar Jaafar.
According to the former Borno State governor, the northern region will not be excluded from the administration’s developmental projects, arguing that the party’s presidential candidate has always been a friend of the region.

He recalled Mr Tinubu giving the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, ticket to two northern politicians, Atiku Abubakar and Nuhu Ribadu, in 2007 and 2011.
He went on to say that Mr Tinubu was also instrumental in establishing Muhammadu Buhari as the winner of the APC primaries in 2014 and the party’s victory in the 2015 general election.
“I don’t see any reason why the northern region would be sidelined, especially when you look at the antecedents of Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He has been a friend of the north since the time of Shehu Musa Yar’Adua.
“In 2007, when Atiku was humiliated and chased out of the PDP, Tinubu accommodated him and gave him the presidential ticket of the ACN.
“Four years later, he gave Malam Nuhu Ribadu, a northern Muslim and our brother, the presidential ticket to contest.
“But for Bola Tinubu’s support, Muhammadu Buhari wouldn’t have won the APC primaries in 2014. His support saved the day.
“The 2.9 million votes he used to defeat President Goodluck Jonathan were from the south-west, and he also supported us in 2019,” Mr Shettima added.
