A group, the Igbo Arise for Tinubu/Shettima 2027 has called on well-meaning patriots to support the developmental strides of the current administration under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu and Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima.
The convener, Mike Iroakazi made the call in a statement.
He said the purported adoption of a new vice presidential candidate by the North East Coalition can cause confusion in the party.
Such move he noted can also undermine ongoing progress of the current administration.
Iroakazi urged the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to call the group demanding Shettima’s replacement to order.
He insisted that the Tinubu/Shettima joint ticket has been a success story and should continue.
The statement reads in part, “We strongly believe that their joint ticket has been a success story.
“We wish to see their continuation in office come 2027.
“Recently, a group known as the North East Coalition purported to have adopted a new vice presidential candidate for President Tinubu in 2027.
“We see this as a ploy to cause confusion and undermine the progress made so far.
“We therefore call on the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to call such detractors to order.
“As the Igbo adage goes, if a path is working, why change it?
We believe that the Tinubu/Shettima ticket has proven to be a good road, and we should not fix what is not broken.
“We urge all Nigerians to join us in supporting this administration and rejecting any attempts to sow discord and confusion.
“Together, we can achieve great things and build a brighter future for our country.”
