The
Deputy Speaker of Borno House of Assembly, Danlami Kubo, said on Tuesday that his state governor, Kashim
Shettima, should be the next man to rule Nigeria at the end of President
Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure.
The lawmaker said moves
were being made to see that the candidacy of Mr. Shettima is accepted when the
time comes for the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to get President
Buhari’s successor.
He was not specific on
whether his wish for Mr. Shettima to succeed Buhari would be in 2019 or beyond.
The Borno governor has also not declared any intention to run for president, while
Mr. Buhari has not declared if he would seek a second term or not.
Mr. Kubo, who has
represented Shani constituency of Borno in the State House of Assembly since
2007, heads the assembly’s Women Affairs committee.
He made this
declaration during the flag-off of a three day entrepreneurial training for
10,000 selected widows and displaced women, which was organised by the federal
government.
The lawmaker told the
crowd that Borno State has continued to enjoy much patronage from the federal
government because of the “good leadership qualities” of Mr. Shettima.
