Sen. Kashim Shettima, the party's vice presidential candidate, was feted by a leading All Progressives Congress supporter organisation on his 56th birthday, praising him as a model leader and manager.
Seyi Bamigbade, the director general of the APC Professionals' Council, said in a statement honouring the former governor of Borno State that Shettima is among the best leaders the APC has ever produced nationally.
At a time when security fears in the state were at an all-time high, Bamigbade praised Shettima for redefining leadership and restoring calm to the formerly unstable Borno State.
He expressed gratitude to the presidential candidate of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, for choosing Shettima as his running+mate in the upcoming general elections, saying the lawmaker wields so much value, with which he will ensure the victory of the party.
According to Bamigbade: “Senator Shettima at 56 has consistently demonstrated an enviable sense of patriotism and national service.
“His laudable services to our nation at all spheres are landmark indications that in him the country has an inestimable treasure and asset.
“His readiness to give his best for a country he so much cherishes stands him out as a committed patriot with a solid sense of loyalty to our nation”.
