Vice President Kashim Shettima has praised President Bola Tinubu’s leadership, stating that history will remember him as the leader who confronted Nigeria’s most complex challenges head-on.
Speaking at a special Iftar held in honour of Tinubu’s birthday at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Saturday night, Shettima commended the President’s bold decisions, describing him as a leader taking on challenges that previous administrations avoided.
Shettima made reference to the President’s efforts in tackling long-standing national issues such as fuel subsidy fraud, foreign exchange instability, and local government autonomy suppression.
“These were thorny issues that many before him sidestepped. But Asiwaju did not sidestep history; he came to rewrite it,” Shettima stated.
He added that Tinubu is taking “bullets” that past leaders “simply lacked the courage to face,” emphasizing that true leadership is about making difficult choices for national progress.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio also paid tribute to Tinubu, praising his ability to forgive and his dedication to national development.
Describing the President as a “leader who thinks outside the box,” Akpabio said Tinubu’s administration has significantly increased allocations to governors.
“If I were a governor under your administration, I would have been a ‘supernatural governor’ and not just an uncommon governor,” Akpabio remarked.
Other political leaders also joined in celebrating President Tinubu, acknowledging his role in reshaping Nigeria’s governance and economic policies.
