Sen. Ali Sheriff, a former governor of Borno, said on Wednesday that Kashim Shettima, the vice president, is a leader who exemplifies the fundamental principles of effective leadership.
Sheriff made the claim at a press conference shortly after paying Shettima a visit in support at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
He congratulated President Bola Tinubu for selecting Shettima as his running mate and for thinking highly of him.
I’m here to see my younger brother, the vice president of Nigeria, who I worked closely with while I was the governor of Borno State, Sheriff stated.
I therefore came to bless his office and wish him well while he was the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
You are aware of God’s greatness. Someone who has been a coworker of mine for more than ten years now has the position of Nigeria’s number two citizen.
The APC leader proudly recalled transferring Borno’s governorship to Shettima in 2011, noting that the vice president collaborated with him at all levels of government.
Shettima continued, “He worked with me in various levels of governance, and he had demonstrated a quality of leadership from time immemorial. I handed over the governorship of Borno State to him.
He was chosen as President Bola Tinubu’s running partner by divine intervention.
“So, I came to bless his office and wish him well today since I’m a joyful man.
