A frontline aspirant for the Kaduna Central Senatorial seat under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Amb. Yerima Shettima, has officially announced his withdrawal from the race ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking during a press conference on Saturday, May 17, 2026, Shettima said his decision followed extensive consultations and careful reflection, stressing that the move was made in the interest of party unity, discipline, and collective progress.
According to him, the decision should not be interpreted as an act of weakness or fear, but rather a demonstration of loyalty and commitment to the ideals of the APC.
He reaffirmed his unwavering support for the APC and pledged to continue working for the success of the party and all its candidates in the forthcoming elections.
The former aspirant also called on his supporters and political associates to remain calm, peaceful, and fully committed to supporting candidates produced by the party, emphasizing that the unity and victory of the APC must remain paramount.
Shettima further advocated for genuine reconciliation among aggrieved party members to strengthen internal cohesion and ensure lasting peace within the party.
He expressed appreciation to members of the Capacity Movement led by Shehu Sani Sado, as well as members of his Campaign Council, for their steadfast support, loyalty, and sacrifices throughout the political journey.
The APC chieftain equally reiterated his total support for the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani.
Amb. Yerima Shettima concluded by formally aligning himself with the decisions of the party and prayed for peace, unity, and development in Kaduna State and Nigeria at large.
