"Atiku is not a threat to Tinubu in the North East and you can quote me on that. What has Atiku done for the region in his eight years reign as Vice President for the region? Look at Gombe-Yola road, it has been like that since Atiku’s time as Vice President.
"It is a shame to Atiku that the only major road that links his home state to other parts of the country is bad, not motorable and still remains like that.
"The Northeast region used to be Atiku’s stronghold because there was no Northeasterner on the ballot but now with the emergence of Senator Kassim Shettima on the ballot, it will no longer be so."
It is the turn of the south to occupy Aso Rock in 2023
"And again, even though Atiku is coming from the region but it is the turn of the south to occupy the Aso Rock villa since the North West is about rounding up the slot of the North and it is only just and fair for power to return to the south and who is that person, a lover of the North East; someone that we have been very comfortable with and someone that we are sure we will be comfortable with when he gets to power; Asiwaju Bola Tinubu."
Tinubu is a great supporter of Northern politicians
Speaking further, Bayero said
"This is our payback time because he is a supporter of the North East. He has supported Atiku Abubakar from Adamawa state, supported Nuhu Ribadu from the same Adamawa state and picked Kassim Shettima from Borno state. I have never seen a bigger lover of the Northeast in the country than Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu."
As Tinubu goes global, Shettima makes giant stride at PDP major hub in powerful northern state
Kashim Shettima, the running mate of Bola Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election, has announced that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has secured the support of Hon. Binta Bello.
Shettima announced the development on his Twitter page on Thursday, December 8.
He described the former lawmaker as:
"An amazon in Gombe politics and a women leader of repute".
