“It is no doubt, based on your precedents as a forward-thinking Governor in Lagos State and your reputation as one of the foremost democrats and a custodian of democracy in Nigeria. You have played a father-figure role to the people of the South, the Northerners and a large block of voters across the country both at home and abroad.
“The unwavering belief you have in democracy and your commitment to a New and Better Nigeria have continuously paved the way for opportunities to brighten our dear country and empower our people.
“You have clearly demonstrated your detribalised character of personality in the unflinching support of APC delegates across the nation during a rigid democratic process to emerge as the party’s nominee. A feature that is more important than ever at a time when inconsistencies plague our country.
“Your Excellency, we have the most grounded trust in you to have gathered all the experiences required to canvas the entire structure of the party and a a larger part of the Nigerian populace into a formidable force to deliver the 2023 general election.
“Your sportsmanship as an enthusiastic community grassroots mobilizer is the only capacity the party needs to achieve triumph in the forthcoming general election and beyond. It is indeed, under the same ace portfolio that you provided us another genuine devotee of true leadership, a banker par excellence, and a strong promoter of democracy, His Excellency Kashim Shettima, which has once again demonstrated that national interests are central in the core values of the party, as opposed to personal ambitions.
“On Senator Kashim Shettima emerging as the Vice Presidential candidate of our party, the APC, we congratulate you on your well-meriting nomination and confirmation as the running mate to the party’s presidential candidate following a thorough selection process.
“From being a Commissioner in 5 ministries of Borno State to becoming a two-term Executive Governor of the state and subsequently, the Distinguished Senator of the Borno Central Senatorial District, you have unendingly shown your initiative, leadership prowess and crisis management skills which is most evident in the peaceful co-existence that is needed to be enjoyed by the good people of Borno State today. This is the leadership Nigerians are yearning for.
“We firmly believe and guarantee that our strategic structures are well positioned to promote and galvanise the grassroots support across the nooks and crannies of the 19 Northern States as well as the nation, at large for His Excellency Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu/His Excellency Senator Kashim Shettima’s candidature.
“Furthermore, we want to utilise this medium to express our most sincere appreciation to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria His Excellency Muhammadu Buhari, the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, the APC National Chairman Abdullahi Adamu and leaders of our extraordinary party for conducting a hitch-free and successful primaries all through the election period and to electrify for all our supports toward His Excellency Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima’s movement ahead of the 2023 general elections.
