EDITOR’S PICK
EKO HOT BLOG reports that Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Zulum, has commended the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, for picking a former governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima, as his running mate.
In a statement on Sunday, he described the choice of Senator Shettima as the APC vice-presidential candidate as the wisest choice made by the party’s flagbearer.
The statement reads in part: “Earlier today, I received with the greatest joy, the announcement of my mentor, His Excellency, Senator Kashim Shettima as the vice-presidential candidate of our party, the APC, and insha’Allah, the next Vice President of the Federal Republic under His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, our incoming President, Bi’iznillah.
“It has been my greatest wish that HE Kashim Shettima gets this elevation that he so much deserves as one of Nigeria’s highly patriotic leaders. For me, and I am sure for many leaders and members of the APC, Tinubu’s choice of HE Kashim Shettima is the wisest choice at this point in time.
“Shettima’s choice is very personal to me and together with our leaders and all stakeholders and members of the APC, we shall campaign vigorously, and work day and night to collectively secure overwhelming victory for the APC in 2023, insha’Allah.
“Without the slightest doubt, HE Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has chosen a leader who has a very deep understanding of our country and its complexities. There is hardly any tribe in any of Nigeria’s 36 states and the FCT that Senator Kashim Shettima cannot knowledgeably speak about.
“He knows the social, cultural, religious, economic, and political structure of virtually all the 36 States and the FCT. Shettima is extremely patriotic. He believes so much in the unity of this country and he has proved it on a number of occasions.”
