“Hands Off Our VP!”South-South APC Youths Rise in Fierce Defence

The South-South APC Youth Coalition has rejected all forms of plots—whether hidden or public—to undermine or substitute Vice President Kashim Shettima in the 2027 elections.

In the wake of an emergency meeting held in Port Harcourt, the South-South Youth Coalition of the APC called on President Tinubu to remain laser-focused on delivering meaningful reforms and responsive governance.

The communiqué, endorsed by Zonal Youth Leader Sheik Aliu-Mahmood and Secretary General Emma Orupe, decried ongoing internal distractions within the APC as unwarranted and dangerous.

Party loyalists were urged to prioritize unity and avoid schemes that could undermine leadership at the national level.

“The nation stands at a critical juncture. Nigerians deserve action, not backdoor power struggles. Vice President Shettima has earned his place through unwavering dedication and strategic insight,” the statement declared.

The group restated its full commitment to the Tinubu-Shettima ticket, asserting that both leaders must be allowed to serve out their constitutional mandate without internal sabotage.

They warned that any diversion from the president’s Renewed Hope Agenda would be a disservice to the millions who voted in 2023.
