National President, Millet Farmers Association, Umar Abdullahi, has said that President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress, APC, will have problems if Vice President Kashim Shettima is replaced in 2027.
Abdullahi made this statement on Thursday when he featured in an interview on Trust TV monitored by DAILY POST.
His remark is coming against the backdrop of speculation that Shettima could be replaced in the forthcoming 2027 general elections.
He said, “With Shettima in government, we have a lot of expectations and hopes. We are asleep if Shettima is there. We know a lot of things have started. We want that strategy to be maintained. The status quo must be maintained.
“There is no basis for changing Shettima. He’s still loyal. He’s still capable. And he’s discharging the responsibilities and the duties of the Office of the Vice President successfully. So there is no reason he should be replaced.
“APC will have problems if he’s removed. We are not politicians. We don’t need to tell lies. This is my first time coming before a camera in my life. APC and President Tinubu will have problems because a lot of farmers will not vote for the APC.
“We voted because of the Muslim/Muslim ticket. If you want to replace somebody, you have to tell people what wrong he’s done that requires his replacement. But to the best of our knowledge, Shettima has been representing Nigeria very well even in foreign fora.”
