Vice-President Shettima Urges Cross River Residents to Support Tinubu's Economic Reforms

Cross River residents have been urged to support President Bola Tinubu's economic reforms, despite their initial pains, according to Vice-President Kashim Shettima.

Speaking at a rally held in Calabar, Shettima defended Tinubu's economic policies, stating that they are "beginning to yield positive results." He further emphasized that the nation's progress relies on the collective efforts of all citizens.

The Vice-President emphasized the importance of understanding the long-term benefits of the reforms, stating that "although the journey may be tough, the destination promises a brighter future for Nigeria."

Shettima urged Cross River residents to vote for Tinubu in the upcoming elections, citing the positive changes they have witnessed in the state as evidence of Tinubu's dedication to improving Nigeria's economy.

Tinubu's economic reforms have been met with mixed reactions across Nigeria. While some citizens have experienced the positive effects, others argue that the measures have disproportionately affected certain sectors and individuals.

The rally in Cross River comes as part of Tinubu's nationwide campaign, aimed at garnering support for his presidential bid. Tinubu is a key figure in Nigeria's political landscape, known for his influential role in shaping the country's economic policies during his tenure as governor of Lagos State.

The Vice-President's speech highlighted the progress seen in Cross River State under Tinubu's leadership, citing improved infrastructure, job creation, and increased investments as key indicators of the state's growth.

The rally in Cross River follows a series of similar events held across Nigeria, aimed at showcasing Tinubu's commitment to furthering his economic agenda at the national level.

Nigeria's presidential election is scheduled for 2023, with Tinubu as a prominent contender for the presidency. As a former governor of Lagos State, Tinubu has a solid political history and is expected to attract both local and international attention during his campaign.
