But he is a political tourist who is only in this country every electoral circle and we are going to retire him back to Dubai to go and relax. In every situation, for people to see your worth, they need to see your output at home. I am from the Northeast; he is from the Northeast.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAtiku cannot point to three projects that he brought to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/04\/02\/northeast-church-terrorists-still-killing-our-members-170-churches-remain-shut\/\">Northeast<\/a> or to Northern Nigeria for the eight years that he served as the vice president. He cannot show us three people that he has mentored.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs he even in good term with past governors of Adamawa state? Admiral Nyako is with us. James Ngilari is with us. Asiwaju can boast of Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, he can boast of Babatunde Raji Fashola, he can boast Lai Mohammed, Rauf Aregbesola, Kayode Fayemi, Femi Gbajabiamila, Abiodun Faleke, Joe Igbokwe, Ben Akabuaze. I can boost of Babagana Zulum, Senator Abubakar Kyari, Mohammed Ali Ndume, Betara Aliyu and Tahir Mongunu, Zanaib Gimba.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Describing Tinubu as the best material for the presidency, Shettima said: \u201cThe trajectory of global growth is facing Africa and Nigeria will make or mar that transition. That is why I will rather be a small fish in a big pond than be a big fish in a small pond.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI supported Asiwaju out of a moral obligation, out of a moral conviction. What we have seen is his opportunity for national collaboration and national cohesion. When the frontlines that divides us were being manipulated for political ends, Asiwaju refused to swallow the pill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNigerian\u2019s of younger generation must know Asiwaju\u2019s history of two decades past when he stood firm as the fulcrum to a despotic PDP government in this country when he was viciously maligned and ostracized and that was when he laid the foundation for modern Lagos state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe provided support and succour when the nation was enveloped in darkness and when we were having lots of destruction in the hands of military dictators, he was a sanctuary for victims of political witch hunt including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar who was intimidated ad harassed, dehumanized and chased out of the PDP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was Asiwaju that gave him political sanctuary and a platform to contest the Presidency of this country in 2007. The same thing was repeated four years later when another harassed person, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, was given the platform to contest the presidency of this country under the ACN.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose of us who were in Lagos in 2014 for the Presidential primary of the APC can attest to the fact that without the block support of the south west, President Muhammadu Buhari would not have emerged as the Presidential flag bearer of the APC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor God sake, ours is a young nation where inclusivity and sense of belonging has been the cardinal work of our national and political intercourse. If power resides in the north for eight years, for God sake, it should move.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBill Clinton and his running mate were both from southern United States. Nobody bathed an eyelid because they have reached that level in their national political development. Out of share opportunity, the PDP is fielding a northerner as their Presidential candidate and the Press are not subjecting that to a microscopic scrutiny. Where is the Nigeria media? President Buhari is being subjected to serious attack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, there is an improvement in power supply in the country and nobody is talking. There is war against banditry and nobody is talking. We are not saying that we are bereft of challenges because we have problems. But some of the problems can be situated in the impact of the Ukraine crisis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to assure you that my Principal, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will run an inclusive government and the reward system will be recalibrated so that only people with value addition capability can be recognised and rewarded and embraced.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou will not come with starched gown and get coveted position. You have to move beyond that. Politics of starched gowns has come to an end, while politics of value addition has come. Asiwaju has a big heart and has the generosity of spirit to embrace everyone. He will not deprive any Nigeria of whatever political colouration of his or her rights.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senator Kashim Shettima,\u00a0All Progressives Congress (APC) vice presidential candidate\u00a0yesterday explained why Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar will not win next year\u2019s election.
