The National Leader and Presidential candidate of the ruling party of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has joined millions of other Nigerians to celebrate his running mate and Vice Presidential candidate of the ruling party, Senator Kashim Shettima as he clocks 56 today.
Chief Bola Tinubu taking to his official social media handle on Friday 2nd September 2022, posted photos of Shettima and himself to wish the former Senator and Borno state Governor a happy 56th birthday celebration.
Tinubu captioned the photos saying:
“I heartily congratulate my brother and worthy partner, Senator Kashim Shettima, on attaining 56 in good health. I am excited about his energy, dynamism and readiness to serve our country at the centre as Vice President,” he said.
He described Senator Shettima as “an extraordinary leader forged in the theatre of challenges. He led a heroic struggle against the forces of terrorism with intellect, courage and tenacity. He gave succour to the victims while mobilising the civilians to support our military.
The success of his interventions and help in facilitating the emergence of another excellent leader in Prof. Babagana Zulum are part of the achievements of our party today in Borno State.
It gladdens my heart to be on this journey with Senator Shettima to deliver to our people progressive good governance. I wish Senator Shettima many more years, robust health and more wisdom as he forges ahead in the service of our country,” he added.
