BORNO State Governor Kashim Shettima has confirmed that
former governors in the yet-to-be inaugurated Ninth National Assembly
have endorsed Senate Leader Ahmed Lawan and House of Representatives
Leader for Senate President and House Speaker respectively.

Shettima made the confirmation while fielding questions from reporters in N’Djamena, Chad, at the weekend.

Besides,
the governor informed that the three senators-elect and House of
Representatives members-elect from Borno State have endorsed Lawan and
Gbajabiamila for the exalted offices.

He, therefore, dismissed
the insinuation in some quarters that former governors in the National
Assembly were against the election of Lawan and Gbajabiamila as leaders
of the two chambers of the national assembly.

According
to Shettima, supporting President Muhammadu Buhari’s programmes and
political decisions remained the only for the APC governors to show
appreciation to the President.

He said: “All our governors,
including those coming to the senate are 100 per cent in support of our
party’s stance as far as election of new leadership for the national
assembly is concerned.

“As far as Borno is concern, we are in
alignment with the aspirations of Mr. President and that of our party.
“Whoever the party endorses for any position, we will solely stand
behind such a person because party discipline is absolutely essential
for the sustainability of our democratic experiment.

“If everyone
is to vote according to his own free will surely that would be a recipe
for disaster or confusion. So, we have to align ourselves with the
aspirations of the president.”

The governor, who was part of
Buhari’s entourage to meeting of member nations of the the Community of
Sahel – Saharan States (CEN SAD) in N’Djamena, expressed the hope that
the body would come out with lasting solutions to the challenges of
insecurity in the affected areas.

Commending Buhari for his role
in promoting peace and stability in the region, the governor enjoined
member nations of the CEN SAD to intensify efforts in addressing the
problems of terrorism and banditry along the Lake Chad basin and beyond.
