Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has described his running mate, Kashim Shettima, as a courageous and fearless leader.
He eulogised him on his 56th birthday on Friday.
According to him, Shettima is a bold, courageous, selfless, brilliant, and committed leader who led his people through the most challenging period and did not allow the menace of Boko Haram to overwhelm him while he was governor.
In another statement signed by the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Murtala Ajaka, the party also Shettima, saying he was a shining light of the party even as he celebrated his 56th birthday anniversary.
Ajaka said, “The ticket symbolises the party’s determination to be a leading light among political parties in Africa, just like the celebrant himself (Shettima) who has been a shining light as governor, senator and vice president-to-be in 2023.
“He was able to make his mark despite the challenges of insecurity in the North-East,” adding that “crisis is the true test of a man’s ability and Shettima proved his mettle.”
