Vice President Kashim Shettima rejected the Rainbow Coalition’s split‑voting plan on Wednesday in Lafia, the capital of Nasarawa State, and urged supporters to vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in every contest in the 2027 general election.
The directive was delivered at an APC presidential campaign rally in Lafia, where Shettima said the Presidency would not accept a strategy that separates votes for the president from votes for other offices.
The Rainbow Coalition, led by Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike, is mobilising support for President Bola Tinubu’s re‑election while also backing candidates from other parties for governorship, Senate, House of Representatives and House of Assembly seats.
Shettima stressed that the party’s message is a clean sweep:
"APC from top to bottom, APC from bottom to top. We do not want a situation where they say vote for the president and not the governor, or vote for the governor and not the president, or the senator, or the House of Assembly. We want APC straight,"he said.
He added that Tinubu has Nasarawa State at the heart of his agenda and that the President is poised to deliver dividends of democracy through investments in roads, education and solid minerals.
