Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon Murtala Yakubu Ajaka, has showered encomiums on the party’s vice presidential candidate, Kashim Shettima, describing him as a shining light and a man that has proven his mettle.
In a congratulatory message to celebrate Shettima’s 56th birthday anniversary, the party’s deputy spokesperson, claimed that the former Borno State governor was able to make his mark despite the challenges of insecurity in the North-east.
The statement made available to newsmen in Abuja, Ajaka, said: “The choice of Shettima as the running mate to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has added a milestone to the presidential ticket of the ruling party in the country’s political history.”
Reacting further, he maintained that the ticket symbolises the party’s determination to be a leading light among political parties in Africa, just like the celebrant himself, who has been a shining light as governor, Senator and vice presidential candidate for the 2023 poll.
Recalling laudable achievements Shettima recorded as governor of Borno State, especially in education and infrastructure, Ajaka claimed that the vice presidential candidate was able to make his mark despite the challenges of insecurity in the North-East.
