Borno Councillors Endorse Tinubu-Shettima For Re-election

The Borno State Supervisory Councillors Forum has thrown its weight behind the Tinubu-Shettima ticket for the 2027 presidential election.

Briefing journalists on Friday in Maiduguri, the chairman of the forum, Alhaji Kellum Gashau, said the forum is satisfied with President Bola Tinubu’s leadership and the progress of the Renewed Hope Initiative.

The forum commended Vice President Kashim Shettima for his dedication, loyalty and capability, urging President Tinubu to retain him as his running mate in 2027 for continuity and sustained socio-economic gains.

“We express our profound satisfaction with the progress of the government under the leadership of His Excellency, President Bola Tinubu. We see the Renewed Hope Initiative gradually yielding fruits for Nigerians. We specifically thank the president for the confidence and trust in our son, His Excellency, Vice President Kashim Shettima,” the forum said.

The forum also lauded Borno State governor, Babagana Zulum, for his administration’s unprecedented achievements in the 27 local government areas of the state, saying that the governor has recorded tremendous strides by facilitating the safe return of countless internally displaced persons (IDPs) to their ancestral homes.

The chairman of the forum noted that the administration has aggressively driven post-conflict recovery by commissioning thousands of resettlement homes in high-risk areas like Baga, Marte, Gamborun Ngala, Malam Fatori, Damasak, Boso in Niger Republic and some parts of Bama, Ngrosuye, Banki, Pulka and Kirawa in Gwoza local government area.
