Having gained lots of experience in the banking sector, the Borno state government found him fully competent and qualified for the position. He served as a commissioner in charge of five different ministries of the state from 2007 to 2011.<\/p>\n<p>From his achievements as the Commissioner for Finance in the state, he then ventured into other aspects of state politics. In 2008, he became the Commissioner of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs. In 2009, he was appointed the Commissioner for Education.

Engr. Modu Fannami Gubio was the candidate selected by the All Nigerian Peoples&#8217; Party (ANPP) for the Borno State governorship in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the ANPP candidate was shot dead by gunmen, and Kashim Shettima was then nominated to run for governorship under the party. He won the Borno governorship election result with 531,147 votes on April 26, 2011. The politician remained the governor of the state despite all the opposition and court filings and the inherited insecurity suffered by the state.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, he was re-elected for a second tenure as the governor of the state under the All Progressive Congress (APC) and served till 2019. While he served as a governor, he was appointed as the Chairman of the Northern State Governor&#8217;s Forum under APC.<\/p>\n<p>During his tenure as the Borno state governor, he contributed drastically towards fighting the insecurity rampaging the state. Due to his recognized efforts toward bringing good governance to the state, he was awarded Governor of the Year on different occasions by lots of organizations in the country and beyond.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Senator Kashim Shettima Won The Borno Central Senatorial Election of Borno in 2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>After his successful years as the governor of Borno State, Shettima leveled up and contested for the position of senator of Borno Central under the APC. Senator Kashim Shettima was declared the winner at the INEC Zonal collation center in Maiduguri. His victory over his main opponent, Mr. Muhammed Abba-Aji of the People&#8217;s Democratic Party, was well celebrated. He has been serving in the position from 2019 to date.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-box su-box-style-default\" id=\"\" style=\"border-color:#b0bbb2;border-radius:3px\"><div class=\"su-box-title\" style=\"background-color:#e3eee5;color:#171212;border-top-left-radius:1px;border-top-right-radius:1px\">Highlight of His Political Positions<\/div><div class=\"su-box-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"border-bottom-left-radius:1px;border-bottom-right-radius:1px\">\n<ul>\n<li>Commissioner for Finance:\u00a0 2007-2011<\/li>\n<li>Commissioner of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs: 2008<\/li>\n<li>Commisioner for Education: 2009<\/li>\n<li>Commisioner for Agriculture and Natural resources<\/li>\n<li>Ministry of Health<\/li>\n<li>Borno State Governor: 2011-2019<\/li>\n<li>Borno Central Senator: 2019 to date<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<h3><strong style=\"color: #111111;font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;font-size: 27px\">His Nomination as Bola Ahmed Tinubu&#8217;s Running Mate Has Been Met With Criticism<\/strong><\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CNPuXsEBmAM\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Tinubu made the statement at Daura, Katsina State, when he went to visit the incumbent President, Muhamadu Buhari. This decision came after Alhaji Masari withdrew as the running mate placeholder.<\/p>\n<p>The appointment has set Nigerians and the party members in a frenzy, owing to the fact that Tinubu and Kashim Shettima are Muslims. Many people and organizations, including the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), have condemned the APC&#8217;s decision to run a Muslim-Muslim ticket.<\/p>\n<p>Most Nigerians believe that a Muslim-Muslim ticket will be damaging to Nigerian unity. Some of the party members advised a balance on religious grounds during the selection. Others are of the opinion that it should be done, considering the balance in the regions of Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>In reaction to the backlash, Bola Tinubu stated that Senator Kashim Shettima is the right man for the job. He further stated that Shettima has the required qualifications and governance experience to perform in the position.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Senator Kashim Shettima is Happily Married to Hajia Nana Shettima<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Senator Kashim Shettima is happily married to his wife, Hajia Nana Shettima. Details about how they met, the year they got married, and how long they have been together are unknown. She holds a Bachelor of Science in English Language and Literature from the University of Maiduguri.<\/p>\n<p>Nana is also a philanthropist who has worked with a number of organizations to show compassion and support to widows, orphans, and victims of insurgency. Asides from this, she is a great support to her husband&#8217;s political career. They are parents to three children; two girls and a boy. However, the politician has shown his height of privacy as there is no information on his children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senator Kashim Shettima Mustapha (born on September 2, 1966) is a year old banker and politician.
