Vice-President Kashim Shettima says President Bola Tinubu’s administration is boosting economic growth and improving security in Nigeria’s South-East. Speaking at an APC presidential campaign rally in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, Shettima links the government’s work to infrastructure investment, agriculture, and broader human-capital development.
Shettima frames the interventions as efforts to strengthen regional connectivity, support food security, expand economic opportunities, and address development challenges. He also calls for a renewed mandate, describing public office as a duty to improve citizens’ lives.
Across coverage, outlets largely repeat the same core message and venue details: Shettima’s claims at the APC rally and the stated aims for the South-East. Nigerian Eye emphasizes named projects and connectivity, while Premium Times and Vanguard foreground the “economic and security transformation” framing. Vanguard’s lead also includes an additional broader campaign/party framing about opposition and political competition.
