Re-elected Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno state has been urged to continue with his people-oriented programmes.
The Coordinator of the Grassroots Mobilizers for Buhari, Borno chapter, Alhaji Abba Alkali, made the call in a statement made available to newsmen in Maiduguri on Monday.
In the congratulatory statement, Alkali said Shettima’s victory was based on his successful developmental programmes in spite of the Boko Haram insurgency in the state.
“The Borno Grassroots Mobilizers for Buhari wishes to congratulate Gov. Kashim Shettima on his re-election for a second term in office.
“The re-election is a sign of public confidence on Shettima who has worked hard to develop the state in spite of the Boko Haram insurgency,” he said.
Alkali also appealed to the governor to remain focused in his quest to take the state to the greater height.
“We commend the Borno electorate including women and youths for coming out en masse to vote Gen. Muhammadu Buhari and all APC candidates at the Presidential and National Assembly Polls.
“We also thank them for voting all APC candidates in the Governorship and House of Assembly polls,” Alkali said.
“We wish to thank Shettima for his moral and financial support for the successes of the grassroots mobilizers towards the victory of all APC candidates at the polls,” Alkali said.
