2023 Elections: “Follow Man Wey Know Road’ – Shettima Tells Nigerians

The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate in the 2023 presidential election; Bola Tinubu’s running mate, Kashim Shettima, Monday, has advised Nigerians to vote for the candidate that can turn Nigeria around for good.

Shettima said this at the 62nd Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) Annual General Conference held at Eko Hotels, Victoria Island, Lagos.

The Former Borno state governor also said his combination with the APC National Leader, if elected next year, will replicate the “wonders” they performed when they were respective governors of Borno and Lagos states.

He spoke on a panel session immediately after the Peoples Democratic Party’s Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar; and shortly before the Labour Party’s Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi; amongst other panelists.

Shettima said, “Nigerians have the capability to see through the worn-out rhetoric and sophistry of pretentious politicians. Nigerians should follow the man wey know the road. From day one, we will hit the ground running. We’ll promptly address the issue of the economy, ecology, and security.

“And we have the antecedents. I built some of the best schools in Nigeria. Go to Borno and see wonders; you will never believe that it is a state in a state of war.

“So, we are going to replicate our achievements in Lagos, in Borno, and some of the frontlines states so that our nation will be a better place. The fundamental issue is pure leadership.”

Shettima, who is known for dressing in traditional clothing, chose to wear a baggy suit and sneakers for the occasion, which has stirred lots of reactions among Nigerians.

While some criticized his stylist, others questioned why Tinubu sent his vice presidential candidate instead of attending the event in person like the presidential candidates of the other political parties.
