The meeting also applauded Shettima’s commitment to the administration and encouraged him to remain steadfast in promoting the president’s policies.
Governor Babagana Zulum, also received a vote of confidence from the stakeholders, who lauded his efforts in restoring peace and development in the state amid lingering security challenges.
Reaffirming Borno’s position as a stronghold of the APC, the stakeholders declared that the state will remain firmly aligned with the party, rejecting any notion of a merger or political realignment.
They called on members to uphold the unity and image of the party and resist divisive tendencies.
The communique further urged the APC’s national leadership to strengthen internal democracy to ensure the party’s continued dominance of the nation’s political landscape.
However, the stakeholders called on the federal government to sustain and expand developmental initiatives in the North East, including oil exploration in Kolmani and the Lake Chad region, and to prioritise road infrastructure to boost regional security and prosperity.
