Tinubu not discriminating against North — Shettima
Vice-President Kashim Shettima has said that President Bola Tinubu is not working against the interests of Northern Nigeria.
Shettima made this statement on Wednesday in Kano while receiving a Federal Government’s delegation led by the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Bajabiamila, on a condolence visit over the death of his mother-in-law. Hajiya Maryam Abubakar.
The vice-president cited the appointment of the two Ministers of Defence, the Chief of Defence Staff, and the Chairman of Police Service Commission, among others, all from the North, as evidence of the president’s commitment to the region’s growth.
He, therefore, called on Nigerians to support Tinubu’s efforts to make Nigeria great, stressing that governance transcends political party affiliations.
Shettima emphasized that the country’s unity and progress were more important than party differences.
He cited the support he received from the Kano State Government, led by Gov. Abba Yusuf of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, during his time of bereavement.
Shettima said that the country has moved beyond politics and was now in the act of governance, emphasizing the need for collective efforts to achieve greatness.
He reminded that Nigeria’s greatness was a collective responsibility, and that political party affiliations should not be a yardstick for division and destruction.
The vice-president called for unity and cooperation among all the political parties, saying that ensuring Nigeria’s greatness was a collective responsibility.
