Shettima, while giving an acceptance speech, stated that the joint ticket is a beacon of hope and progress for Nigerians. The lawmaker promised to provide purposeful leadership and unite the country.
“This ticket isn’t an imposition; it’s an outcome of democracy at its practical best and based on the aggregation of the ideas and insights of our great party’s stakeholders.
