We have received the news of the choice of Distinguished Senator Kashim Shetima as running mate to our Principal, His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, with great relief
For us in the CIGI, it is a perfect match, as the two personalities are embodiments of achievements both as private entrepreneurs and public administrators
As a two term Executive Governor of Borno State, between, 2011-2019, Shetima turned the fortunes of the state around, even as he contended with the Boko haram insurgents
It was during his tenure that Borno state's internally generated revenue increased significantly, with rapid transformation in infrastructure development in most parts of the state
Despite the constant distraction from the menasse of the terrorists activities in the state, he worked very hard to improve the quality of lives of the people through the provision of basic amenities both for the urban and rural communities
He brought his wealth of experience as a trained Economist and banker to bear as Governor of Borno under those very difficult times
At the end of his tenure, Kashim made sure that he bequeathed a Borno that was already placed on the path of progress to a worthy successor, in the person of Professor Zulum before he moved to the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
As a distinguished Senator, Kashim Shetima, continued with the zeal to serve his people by constantly drawing national attention to their plight
His choice therefore, as a loyal and committed ally of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, must have been influenced by his pedigree as a Progressive politician with track records in good governance
We wish to state that we agree entirely with our principal on the choice of Distinguished Senator Kashim Shetima, who, has demonstrated his doggedness as a fighter for whatever course he believes in
What Nigeria needs right now are a team of leaders with the vision, capacity and determination to turn around the fortunes of our dear country, irrespective of religion, or ethnic considerations
We must therefore commend our principal, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for demonstrating great wisdom in the choice of Distinguished Senator Kashim Shetima as his running mate
On our part, we pledge to deploy all our energies and wide networks across the country to mobilize Nigerians for the success of our principal and the party at the polls in 2023 elections
We are convinced beyond all doubts that Asiwaju/ Kashim combination, is a winning ticket for the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the 2023 presidential election.
We therefore call on all loyal and patriotic members of our great party to support this ticket as it is the only guarantee for electoral victory for the party in 2023.
The dou of Asiwaju and Kashim, have the capacity and vision to transform Nigeria in to a nation of our collective dream and also unite the people
It is on record that both personalities have, at different times, demonstrated their great understanding of the Nigerian complex configuration along ethnic and religious groupings and would therefore use their knowledge of the country to promote peace, unity and better understanding among Nigerians when elected to run the affairs of the state.
This is the ticket for a prosperous, strong and more United Nigeria, let us all support it.
God bless CIGI. God bless our great Party, APC.
Hon. Nonso Ezedinma JP.
Executive Secretary
