The moment was noticed when a governorship aspirant, Barr. Kaka Shehu Lawan stepped down and enjoined his supporters to vote Professor Babagana Zulum at the state primary election.
Prior to the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primaries in Borno State, the outgoing governor, Kashim Shettima, picked a professor, Babagana Zulum, as his preferred successor.
Mr Zulum, the former commissioner for the ministry for reconstruction, rehabilitation and resettlement (RRR), is among the 21 aspirants seeking to secure the Borno APC governorship ticket.
Before then, the governor was said to be considering either Mr Zulum and the much younger Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Kaka Lawan. More photos below:
