From Abdulrazaq Mungadi, Gombe
The Arewa 19 Pyramid for Grassroots Development has declared support for the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima, calling on political stakeholders to shun divisive narratives and focus on governance.
This was disclosed during a press conference held on Saturday in Gombe, where the chairman of Arewa 19 Pyramid, Ahmed Abdulraheem, commended the Tinubu-Shettima partnership, describing it as a symbol of political stability, national inclusion, and competent leadership.
“We gather here not just as concerned citizens, but as committed stakeholders in the future of our region and nation. This is a defining moment to support the leadership steering our country towards progress,” Abdulraheem said.
He particularly praised Vice President Shettima, describing him as a strategic thinker and a unifying figure whose contributions to the All Progressives Congress (APC) were instrumental before, during, and after the 2023 elections.
“We are proud of the Vice President – our brother and son of the North. His leadership reflects loyalty and commitment to national development. Undermining him is not just an affront to the North; it is a disservice to the nation,” Abdulraheem warned.
He decried the growing political speculations aimed at discrediting Shettima and called on senior APC members and political actors to “close ranks and focus on delivery”.
According to the group, the time for electoral politics will come, but the present moment demands unity and service to the people.
He also restated that Arewa 19 Pyramid is committed to youth empowerment, civic engagement, and inclusive development, pledging continued support for the Tinubu-Shettima administration in building a secure and prosperous Nigeria.
