According to Governor Babagana Zulum, the emergence of Kashin Shettima as the Vice President-elect would reduce his burden.
Governor Zulum of Borno was declared the winner of the March 18 gubernatorial election in the state.
The governor would be spending another four years in office for his second term.
However, governor Zulum says his workload in this second term would be lesser than the first term.
This is as the state tows the path of recovery from the Boko Haram insurgency.
According to Mr. Zulum, the emergence of Kashin Shettima as the Vice President-elect would be the reason his burden will be reduced.
Mr. Zulum made the declaration in Maiduguri on Friday at a Sallah luncheon for stakeholders.
The ceremony was attended by the Vice President-elect.

The governor says with the incoming vice-president, the government and people of Borno have a reliable brother.
Also, they would have a team player to lean on for support in the recovery process.
“President Buhari has been complaining that I am the only one suffering in Borno with no one supporting me.
“By the grace of God, in the next four years to come, I have with me a brother and indeed my boss that will support me and support the government and people of Borno.
“This will reduce our burden and will ensure our progress and development,” says Zulum.
Finally, he urges the people of Borno to continue to pray for the vice president-elect.
