The All Progressives Congress, APC, vice presidential
candidate, Sen. Kashim Shettima has berated the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar for neglecting the North-East during his
eight tenure as vice president.
Shettima, who spoke at the Yobe South APC rally held in
Potiskum on Tuesday, said Atiku deserves no vote from the Northeast.
“You cannot vote for someone that did eight years as Vice
President without doing eight projects in his place. You cannot vote for
someone that did eight years as Vice President without empowering eight
people”, he said.
According to Shettima, most of Atiku’s closest associates
like Fariya and Baba Wuro Barambu all died without meaningful assistance from
Atiku.
“Abdullahi Nyako of Adamawa, died in a rented house; Fariya
died in anger. Atiku has no close associate in Gombe State than Baba Wuro
Barambu but he died indebted, what sort of brotherhood or associate is this,”
Shettima queried.
The APC vice presidential candidate also claimed that even
the road to Atiku’s ancestral home, Ganye, was constructed by the APC-led
government under President Muhammadu Buhari.
He called on the people of Yobe State to vote for Asiwaju
Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the APC instead of wasting their votes on someone who does
not care about them and their entire region.
Senate President Ahmed Ibrahim Lawan, who also spoke at the
rally, said the turnout in Potiskum was a challenge to the other two zones.
“We will prove our worth with huge votes that would deliver
the State to our great party.
“We will ensure the victory of the Asiwaju/Shettima ticket
with massive votes from Yobe State”, Lawan said.
Governor Mai Mala Buni said the massive turnout of APC
supporters for the Yobe zone ‘B’ rally in Potiskum had strengthened the party’s
confidence in recording a landslide victory against other parties in the
forthcoming general elections.
