This declaration was made during a significant stakeholders’ meeting held at the Multi-Purpose Hall of the Government House in Maiduguri on Sunday. The meeting was attended by key APC figures from Borno State, including prominent members such as APC Deputy National Chairman (North) Ali Bukar Dalori, Senate Chief Whip Senator Mohammed Monguno, Senators Ali Ndume and Kaka Lawan, as well as House of Representatives members, former Governor Senator Maina Ma’aji Lawan, and other party officials.
The endorsement comes in the wake of recent criticism by Senator Ali Ndume, who had questioned some of the President’s appointments. Despite these critiques, Borno APC leaders reaffirmed their “total and unalloyed loyalty” to President Tinubu and his government. They also expressed strong support for his “Renewed Hope Agenda” and praised Vice President Shettima for his dedication to national development.
The communiqué issued at the meeting emphasized the party’s confidence in Shettima’s continued role and urged President Tinubu to retain him as Vice President for the upcoming term. Additionally, the stakeholders commended Governor Babagana Zulum for his ongoing efforts to combat insecurity and rebuild Borno, urging him to stay committed to his transformative agenda.
The communiqué further reassured that Borno State remains firmly in the APC fold, with no plans for political realignment. It also called for greater unity within the party, encouraging members to focus on internal democracy and resist division.
In terms of regional development, the Borno APC stakeholders urged President Tinubu to prioritize oil exploration in the North-East, particularly in Kolmani and the Lake Chad region, while advocating for increased investment in road infrastructure to support both security and economic growth. They concluded with a commitment to ensuring APC’s continued dominance at both state and national levels.
