Vice-President Kashim Shettima, has called for unity and collaboration among leaders, in order to sustain the gains of President Bola Tinubu’s reforms.
Shettima made the call during an Iftar hosted by President Tinubu for Senate leaders at the new State House Banquet Hall in Abuja, as he emphasised that Nigeria had reached a crucial point where Tinubu’s bold leadership and well-thought-out policies must be properly executed to create lasting change.
He noted that Nigerians were beginning to see the benefits of the reforms, such as falling food prices, lower petrol costs, and stability in the forex market.
He also highlighted the economy’s projected growth of 4.3 to 4.6 per cent in 2025, commending Tinubu’s “bold vision” and courageous decisions.
Shettima therefore urged political leaders to collaborate in maintaining this momentum, stating that unity was essential for the nation’s progress.
He further expressed gratitude to the Senate for its cooperative relationship with the executive branch and urged lawmakers to see themselves as one family, regardless of political affiliation.
9News Nigeria reports that some of his words were; “What unites us supersedes whatever divides us,” he said, assuring of continued collaboration between the two arms of government.
Meanwhile, Senate President Godswill Akpabio thanked President Tinubu for his support of the 10th Senate and pledged continued cooperation.
He prayed for divine wisdom and good health for both the President and Vice- President, to ensure the success of the Renewed Hope Agenda.
9News Nigeria reports that the event was attended by key senators, including Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele, and former Senate President Ahmed Lawan.
