He also commended the deputy national chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC North), Hon. Ali Bukar Dalori and all other stakeholders who unanimously endorsed the joint ticket

Malgwi, who aligned with the position of Governor Zulum of Borno state, stated the need to collectively work together as one family to ensure President Tinubu and Vice President Shettima fly same ticket to continue their second term come 2027.
He added that the North east region suffered much devastation from atrocities by Boko Haram for over a decade, adding that the healing time is now under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, with support from his deputy, Shettima, Governor Zulum and other governors of the states of Yobe, Adamawa, Gombe, Taraba and Bauchi, irrespective of political affiliations.
