Vice Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Sen. Kashim Shettima, has assured Nigerians of a government that would address their concerns once elected to power, if they support the party’s campaign by making financial donations.
Shettima who made the call while speaking on behalf of the Presidential Candidate of the party, Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the unveiling of Tinubu/Shettima Crowd-funding Application in Lagos, said once in power, the party will end poverty in the country completely, unlike other candidates promising to only reduce poverty.
He however, said Nigerians must show their support toward this cause, but making financial sacrifices, as the party seeks to bolster its campaign funds with donations as much as N5 billion.
Shettima said leadership has to do with track record, antecedent and achievements and not the issue of quoting dubious statistics or cyber bullying.
He expressed confidence that with the performance of Tinubu as ex -Lagos State governor and him as ex- Borno State governor respectively, they would replicate the giant strides recorded in their states for Nigeria if elected.
“Jagaban pairing with my humble self, places us as the best bet. Undoubtedly, Jagaban is the architect of modern Lagos. Leadership goes beyond insults and cyber bullying. Leadership requires reaching out, leadership is harnessing our diversity,” Shettima stated.
He added, “We have no business of being poor. I find it amusing when people say we should reduce poverty, we have to eradicate poverty.”
