Shettima emphasized that the APC’s strength lies in collective purpose rather than individual ambition or party rhetoric.
He encouraged stakeholders to focus on collaboration and reconciliation, describing unity as the foundation for meaningful political progress.
The Vice President also relayed a personal assurance from the President, promising that Eno’s move to the APC would be met with support and respect.
He highlighted Tinubu’s leadership style as one centered on building alliances and fostering political harmony, underscoring the APC’s openness to all who share its vision.
“We are here today because we understand a fundamental truth: for any political party, lasting power comes not from division but from unity of purpose,” Shettima said.
“This friend we seek is not found in standing alone or fighting among ourselves, but in standing together. That is how we move forward—not by clinging to what divides us, but by building bridges and mending fences.”
He assured Governor Eno that the APC is a home for all.
“President Tinubu is a bridge-builder and a democrat. Your decision to come home to the APC is one you will never regret. Mr. President asked me to assure you personally that you will not be humiliated or forsaken. This party is your home.”
