Vice President Kashim Shettima on Monday described President Bola Tinubu as a magician who has ensured that resources are available to every state in Nigeria.
Shettima spoke at the APC presidential campaign rally in Abakaliki, the capital of Ebonyi State.
He urged Nigerians to reelect Tinubu in the 2027 election.
Shettima said: “Ebonyi, thank you for supporting the APC. We ask you to keep up the great work with us. Please vote for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“You are a group of people who have strong beliefs, important values, and a clear idea of what real progress means.
“You have seen the results. Governor Francis Nwifuru is doing his job. Our son, Engineer David Umahi, is putting in a lot of effort to help Nigeria and Ebonyi State.
“Security in this area has gotten better since President Bola Tinubu took over as Commander-in-Chief three years ago. We have made efforts to restore order and will continue to do so.
“In Ebonyi, the Nigerian Army’s recruit training depot in Amasiri Eda has opened and begun operations, we have also created the South-East Development Commission and approved the South-East Investment Company.
“We understand how important security is for living a better life. We have millions of reasons to return with confidence, but we never take your support for granted.
“Ebonyi now has more resources because the magician you elected as President has made the resources available to every state. Governor Nwifuru is making good use of these resources, and we appreciate his leadership.”
