Vice President Kashim Shettima made the call on Wednesday in Ilorin during the turbaning of Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq as the Sardauna of Ilorin Emirate by the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari. He cited President Bola Tinubu's decision to forgive northern governors who opposed his presidential bid in the 2023 election as an example for politicians to reconcile after contests. Shettima urged politicians to regard political contests as temporary and avoid allowing disagreements to become permanent divisions, speaking against the backdrop of activities ahead of the 2027 general elections. He said, "I call on all of us to unite in this political season and play politics without bitterness."
