The vice presidential candidate of the ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Kashim Shettima, has assured Nigerians
that when elected, his principal, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu would be just and fair to
all Nigerians, irrespective of tribe, religion, and political affiliations.
Shettima stated this on Tuesday at the one-year memorial
service held in honour of Governor Dapo Abiodun’s late father, Dr. Emmanuel
Abiodun, at the St. James Anglican Church, Iperu-Remo, Ogun State.
According to Shettima, a new Nigeria needs to be built,
saying the hope of the black race is on Nigeria.
“We need to build a new nation because the hope of the black
man is on Nigeria. The onus is on us to secure the future of our children yet
unborn,” he said.
The former Borno State Governor assured Nigerians the Tinubu
administration if elected, would be all-inclusive “because no society can
strive on injustice. Ours will be all encompassing, all embracing government.”
Shettima promised that, “We will build a country of our
dreams where people are judged by their character irrespective of their
political affiliations, religious persuasions, sectional or tribal ground.”
He lauded the Yoruba race for being a bastion of religious tolerance
and generosity, where people are judged by the content of their character,
competence and ability, even as he urged other parts of the country to emulate
the same.
Speaking, Governor Abiodun called on Nigerians to pray for
the nation through these difficult and trying times.
“I want to ask that we continue to pray that God Almighty
see us through this time. These are really difficult times in the history of
the nation called Nigeria. We are seeing things that we have never seen before.
I don’t have any doubt that we are passing events and in no time, God will see
us through. We are the people God has treated wonderfully and He fortified us
with lots of endurance and by his grace, we will rise to the top”, he
submitted.
