Uzodimma said: “22 Governors will deliver 22 states because they have done very well.”
On the choice of former Borno Governor, Senator Kashim Shetima as Bola Tinubu’s running mate, Uzodimma said it was a collective decision and they are pleased with the outcome.
Similarly, Kebbi State Governor, Atiku Abubakar Bagudu, said the choice of Shettima as Tinubu’s running mate was a pleasant surprise, describing the former Borno’s Governor as one of Nigeria’s finest.
