Igbo Support Group Backs Tinubu/Shettima Ticket for 2027 Elections

A prominent Igbo support group, Igbo Arise for Tinubu/Shettima 2027, has endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima’s joint ticket for the 2027 general elections. The group praised the administration’s developmental achievements and urged Nigerians, particularly members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), to rally behind the Tinubu/Shettima leadership for a second term.

The group’s statement was in response to a recent claim by the North East Coalition, which allegedly announced a new vice presidential pick for the 2027 election. Igbo Arise for Tinubu/Shettima 2027 dismissed the claim as a ploy to cause confusion and undermine the progress made so far.

Citing an Igbo proverb, the group emphasized that the Tinubu/Shettima ticket has proven to be a successful leadership path that should not be altered. They urged Nigerians to resist attempts to sow discord within the party or the nation, stressing the importance of unity for national development.

The endorsement is seen as a significant boost to the Tinubu/Shettima ticket ahead of the 2027 elections, and it remains to be seen how this will impact the APC’s internal dynamics and the overall political landscape.
