The Borno State Governor, Alhaji Kashim Shettima,
has said that the All Progressives Congress will
win all the six states in the North-East in the
2015 elections.
He boasted that after the 2015 elections, the
party would not be only at the helms of affairs
in both Yobe and Borno states, it would also be
controlling affairs in the remaining four states
and their Houses of Assembly.
The remaining four states in the geo-political
zone are Adamawa, Gombe, Bauchi and Taraba.
Shettima, who was represented by his deputy,
Alhaji Zanna Mustapha, said this while taking
delivery of 100 bags of rice donated by the APC
national leadership to those displaced by Boko
Haram insurgency in Maiduguri, Borno State.
He advised the people of the troubled Borno State
against voting for politicians who were never
around to console them during their trying time.
He said, “Many of these politicians, who are now
regrouping to launch their political ambitions
ahead of the 2015 elections, fled our state. They
could not even come around to sympathise with
our people in distress. I am urging our people not
to support the political ambition of such
politicians.”
The governor’s representative, who received the
food items from the National Welfare Officer of
the APC, Alhaji Dikko Umaru, lauded the party
for the donation, assuring that the items would
be delivered to the displaced persons.
He noted that the APC had continued to support
the three north-eastern states of Borno, Yobe and
Adamawa, insisting that the party leadership
should be commended for constantly persuading the
Federal Government to show more interest in the
Boko Haram crisis and the plight of the affected
states.
Umaru, who delivered the items on behalf of the
National Chairman of the party, Chief John
Odigie-Oyegun, said the gesture should be seen as
a show of support and not politically motivated.
“What is important is the heart to do it, the
motive behind it and not the quantity,” he
pleaded.
