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.

‘Kwankwaso Is More Experienced Than Peter Obi’ – Buhari’s Ex-Aide Declares.
Ahmad made the assertion in a post on his X handle, maintaining that Kwankwaso’s decision to accept the position of running mate should be seen as an act of political modesty rather than an indication that he is less qualified than Obi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to the former presidential aide, the relationship between the two politicians should be viewed as one of equals rather than that of a superior and a subordinate.
“To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate,” he wrote.
He added, “The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.”
Making a case for Kwankwaso’s political experience, Ahmad recalled that the former Kano State governor served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi became a prominent figure in national politics.
He also noted that Kwankwaso governed Kano State, which he described as Nigeria’s most populous and politically influential state, for two terms and served as a federal minister.
“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi,” Ahmad stated.
In contrast, the former presidential aide argued that Obi’s major public office experience was limited to his tenure as governor of Anambra State.
“Unlike other candidates, Peter Obi was just a former governor of Anambra State,” he wrote.
