The Governor of Borno State, Babagana Zulum has assured the people of the state that the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, will deliver on his promises, stressing that Tinubu is familiar with their pains and desires.
He said while he would miss the huge support he got from President Muhammadu Buhari, he was relieved that the combination of Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima were coming on board.
Zulum described the victory of the All Progressives Congress in the February 25 presidential election as the greatest relief to him and his administration.
Governor Zulum spoke on Friday when he hosted the Vice President-elect, Kashim Shettima, to a Sallah lunch at the Government House in Maiduguri, the state capital.
He added, ‘It is one of my greatest joys that here today, His Excellency Senator Kashim Shettima is sitting in our midst as the Vice President-elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria waiting to be sworn in. It has been one of my prayers since I was sworn in as governor in 2019.’

‘On a different occasion, President Buhari has lamented that nobody is as supportive as it should be in addressing the problems faced in Borno State. It is true that this has been one of my nightmares. Insha Allah in the next four years to come, I have with me a brother, and indeed a boss that will support me and support the government and people of Borno State. We have incoming President Bola Tinubu who dearly loves Borno State and shares our pains.’
Zulum had recently in his acceptance speech when he won his re-election bid, described Buhari as his greatest pillar in nearly four years of his first term. Zulum said Buhari gave him incredible support by his relentless fight against Boko Haram and numerous humanitarian and developmental interventions to the state.
