A group under the aegis of Northern Youth Unity Forum( Northeast chapter) has declared that the best running mate for  APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu will be Senator Kashim Shettima from Borno State.

Spokesman of the group Comrade Usman Mustapha who made this known in Gombe at the end of the second quarter meeting of the group, said Senator Shettima has all it takes to be the next Vice President of Nigeria in 2023.

Comrade Usman explained that Senator Shettima, beyond his unalloyed loyalty to Asiwaju Tinubu, has “enormous political goodwill in the Northeast nay Northern Nigeria and has strategic ideas that can boost the electoral fortunes of the APC in the region”.

Comrade Usman further explained that Senator Shettima has the required competence to ensure APC’s victory in the 2023 presidential elections, “because he has never failed to deliver on any assignment, from his days as governor of Borno State, down to today as a Senator of the Federal Republic”.

He explained that Senator Shettima as Governor “remains up to today, the only former State Chief Executive in the history of governance that built  and equipped secondary schools with Air Conditioners, making learning in his domain exceptionally effective”.

He then said : ” I challenge any Nigerian to tell us who has been the closest, most loyal  political associate of Asiwaju Tinubu in the whole of the North today. Shettima remains first in line  because of his well-known politics of reliability, consistency and legendary generosity in today’s Nigeria”.

He explained that the APC 2023 presidential candidate “needs a calm, intelligent, well-connected and articulate running mate”, adding that “Senator Shettima is simply unbeatable in terms of modern leadership skills, efficient and effective management of resources, while commanding respect across North and southern part of the country.”
