I built some of the best schools in Nigeria, says Shettima

Vice Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the 2023 elections, Senator Kashim Shettima, has said he built some of the best schools in Nigeria when he was governor of Borno State.

Shettima said this on Monday at the opening ceremony of the 2022 Nigerian Bar Association’s Annual General Conference held at Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos.

He also commended the Presidential Candidate of the ruling party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, for his development strides in Lagos State.
While Tinubu governed Lagos between 1999 and 2007, Shettima was governor of Borno between 2011 and 2019.

At the conference, Shettima said he and Tinubu have what it takes to turn Nigeria around for the better.

He said, “Nigerians have the capability to see through the worn-out rhetoric and sophistry of pretentious politicians. Nigerians should follow the man wey know the road. From day one, we will hit the ground running. We’ll promptly address the issue of the economy, ecology, and security.

“And we have the antecedents. I built some of the best schools in Nigeria. Go to Borno and see wonders; you will never believe that it is a state in a state of war.

“So, we are going to replicate our achievements in Lagos, in Borno and some of the frontline states so that our nation will be a better place. The fundamental issue is pure leadership.”

The conference with the theme ‘Bold Transitions’ began on Monday and will run until August Friday.
