Shettima: Tinubu’ll hit the ground running from day one

The vice-presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Kashim Shettima, has said the achievements of the party in Lagos, Borno, and other states would be replicated across the country by himself and his principal, Bola Tinubu, if elected in 2023.

Shettima said this on Monday while speaking as a panelist at the 2022 Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Annual General Conference held at the Eko Hotels, Lagos State.

The former Borno State Governor, who represented Tinubu at the event, said Nigerians should be sure of getting experienced leaders who will hit the ground running immediately from May 29, 2023.

According to a statement issued by the Director of Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga, the APC vice-presidential candidate said despite the war situation in the North-East, his regime as governor of Borno State witnessed a tremendous improvement in education in the state.

Shettima said: “Nigerians have the capability to see through the worn-out rhetoric and sophistry of pretentious politicians.

“Nigerians should follow the man who knows the road. From day one, we will hit the ground running. We’ll promptly address the issue of the economy, ecology, and security.

“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,” the former governor stated.
