Vice President Kashim Shettima has criticised ADC vice presidential candidate Rotimi Amaechi for accusing former President Muhammadu Buhari of misleading him before the 2022 APC presidential primary.
Shettima made the remarks on Tuesday at the APC rally in Dutse, Jigawa State.
Amaechi had said Buhari told him not to campaign for the ticket and promised in writing to back him publicly.
Shettima called the claim disrespectful to Buhari, whom he described as one of the most respected political figures in the North.
He asked whether anyone who treats a former president that way deserves the support of northerners.
Shettima said Tinubu has always respected Buhari and would never do anything to damage his image.
He urged northerners to repay Tinubu for the support he gave Buhari in his political struggles, including the 2015 presidential win.
He also asked the people of Jigawa to vote in large numbers for Tinubu and other APC candidates on 16 January 2027.
