A member of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Alhaji Yakubu Ahmed-BK (Maibindiga) has assured the thousands of pro-Tinubu/Shettima support groups that the so-called faultlines that have been alleged to have stalled Nigeria’s development will not hinder Bola Ahmed Tinubu when he eventually becomes President.
He told the executive members of the Bat’Shet Presidential Movement, Kebbi state chapter in Birnin Kebbi that the combination of Tinubu and Shettima have individually and at various times dealt with very serious anti-progress situations which posed challenges to them while they served as Governors of Lagos and Borno states.
He noted that while Lagos became the third largest economy in Africa and the safest in Nigeria on account of Tinubu’s strategic leadership acumen, Kashim Shettima fought a mindless and blood thirsty insurgency in all of his eight years in office and still posted an unprecedented and uncommon string of top flight performance that is still being talked about today.
Alhaji Yakubu, who attended the group’s emergency meeting in Birnin Kebbi as a special guest, informed the members that both Tinubu and Shettima have, between them records of high level problem-solving and talent-hunting and assured that Nigeria will be in very safe hands with the duo in charge.
Chairman of the group, Hon. Muhammad Dantani Kanya had earlier spoken about the efforts the group has made to establish branches in all the 21 local government areas of Kebbi state.
He said, of all the 36 branches of the Movement in Nigeria, the Kebbi state branch has been adjudged as one of the most active by the national headquarters. The Chairman expressed the willingness of the Movement in Kebbi state to exploit its support base all over the state to mobilize the citizenry to vote for the APC candidates.
He said their decision to support Tinubu and Shettima was because they have discovered, after an extensive study of the candidates and their backgrounds, that the APC ticket is way ahead of them all in terms of pedigree, capacity, patriotism and readiness to take the bull by the horns in dealing with Nigerians multifaceted problems.
A letter appointing Alhaji Yakubu Ahmed as the Patron of the Movement in Kebbi state was handed over to the appointee by the Chairman flanked by members of the executive council.
