“Tinubu, being an astute politician with economic acumen revolutionised the economy of Lagos state while Shettima who took over the helm of affairs of Borno state in the heat of insurgency in the northeast managed to control insurgent activities.
“With this combination Buni asserts that the country has a lot to gain from their wealth of experiences even at a time the country’s economy is nosediving and the challenge of security rising.”
