The vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress(APC) Sen. Kashim Shettima has said the PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar deserves no support from the Northeast.

Shettima, who spoke at the Yobe State APC zonal rally in Potiskum on Tuesday, said Atiku neglected the region as Vice President for eight years.

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 you and the entire region.

“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. Atiku does not empower people. Even the road to his village Ganye was constructed by the APC-led government of Mohammadu Buhari,” Shettima said.

He added that most of the closest people to Atiku like Pariya and Baba Wuro Baramu all died without assistance from Atiku.

While speaking of what the APC will do for the people of Zone B, Shettima said the Tinubu- led government will use the ecological funds to control the menace of erosion in the area.

“I urge you all to vote for APC because this is the party to beat. I promise you that as one of us, I will ensure that the ecological funds will be used to fight erosion in this area.

“The government of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will ensure that we make judicious use of the ecological funds to build and control the erosion problem in Potiskum.

“We will join hands with your Governor to ensure that Yobe gets all that it deserves by the time we are elected into power. Don’t vote for anybody that does not know you. Don’t vote on the basis of your brother. It is better to support a brother that knows he is your brother than one that doesn’t care about you," he stated.

Senate President Ahmad Lawan called on the people to support the APC and vote for the party from the top to the bottom. (Nation)
