GOVERNOR Kashim Shettima of Borno on Monday in Maiduguri said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) would adopt a new leadership style and offer exemplary leadership to Nigerians.<\/p>\n

Shettima told newsmen that the party would tackle poverty in the country by addressing their underlining causes.<\/p>\n

“Governance is not about having large sums of money in bank accounts, it is about changing peoples\u2019 lives for the better.<\/p>\n

“The APC will no doubt meet the aspirations of the people, especially those at the grassroots by improving their living conditions,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

He said the party would create jobs in the agricultural, industrial and other sectors of the economy, to address the root causes of poverty at the grassroots level.<\/p>\n

“We have to evolve strategies to create jobs for our youths because youth employment is crucial to the survival of the nation.<\/p>\n

“Very soon we will leave office and all the security apparatus around us will be gone and we will return and live with the people,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

The governor urged Nigerian leaders to safeguard the future by striving hard to tackle unemployment among the youth.<\/p>\n

He commended the Borno Youth Vigilante Group for tackling the Boko Haram insurgency, and described them as God sent.<\/p>\n

According to him, the emergence of the vigilante group can best be described as divine intervention; hitherto everybody is afraid to talk about Boko Haram.<\/p>\n

“By now a group of youths, armed with only sticks and cutlasses have succeeded in chasing and apprehending the gunmen known as Boko Haram militants,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

Shettima said that government would soon offer employ opportunity to members of the group as a reward for their courage.<\/p>\n
