The governor of Borno State, Babagana Umara Zulum, expressed his gratitude towards President Muhammadu Buhari for his unwavering support, but acknowledged that he will dearly miss it.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Zulum however revealed that he is comforted by the fact that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Senator Kashim will be taking over.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) victory in the February 25th presidential elections was described by Zulum as a massive relief to both him and his administration.
Zulum made these statements on Friday during a Sallah lunch at the Government House in Maiduguri where he played host to Vice President-elect, Kashim Shettima.
He said: “It is one of my greatest joys that here today; HE Senator Kashim Shettima is sitting in our midst as the Vice President-elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, waiting to be sworn in. It has been one of my prayers since I was sworn in as governor in 2019.”
“On a different occasion, President Buhari has lamented that nobody is as supportive as it should be in addressing the problems faced in Borno State. It is true that this has been one of my nightmares. Insha Allah in the next four years to come, I have with me a brother, and indeed a boss that will support me and support the government and people of Borno State. We have incoming President Bola Tinubu who dearly loves Borno State and shares our pains”.
