What these assailants are trying to achieve by this hypocrisy is to replace Kashim Shettima with someone of a fragile political reputation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kobi reiterated the group\u2019s commitment to mobilising strong grassroots support for the Tinubu-Shettima ticket, calling on APC members nationwide to unite behind the current leadership.<\/p>\n<p>He also expressed unease over signs of internal tension, warning that unresolved conflicts could undermine the party\u2019s preparations for 2027.<\/p>\n<p>He then praised President Tinubu\u2019s doggedness in preparing the right economic reforms to move Nigeria forward.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
