Tinubu will do wonders like I did in Borno if elected: Shettima
If elected, All Progressives Congress presidential candidate Bola Tinubu will do wonders, says Kashim Shettima, APC vice presidential candidate.
“And we have the antecedents. I built some of the best schools in Nigeria. Go to Borno and see wonders; you will never believe that it is a state in a state of war.
“So, we are going to replicate our achievements in Lagos, in Borno and some of the frontline states so that our nation will be a better place. The fundamental issue is pure leadership,” Mr Shettima said.
The former Borno governor stated this at the opening ceremony of the 2022 Nigerian Bar Association’s Annual General Conference, where he represented Mr Tinubu on Monday.
Mr Shettima governed Borno State between 2011 and 2019. Boko Haram insurgency escalated under him.
In 2014, over 250 school girls were kidnapped from their dormitory in the Chibok community, an incident that gained global attention and condemnation.
