Speaking in Abuja while unveiling the Arewa for Asiwaju campaign headquarters, Shettima framed unity as the real existential challenge for the ruling party. The statement is both a confession and a strategic signal. In Nigerian politics, ruling parties often implode more from within than from external pressure.

Peter Obi joined the party on May 3, 2026, while I held our state congress on May 4. We then attended the National Convention in Abuja on May 9. After t...
