Vice President Kashim Shettima has called on Nigerians to
support the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
Shettima highlighted the importance of unity in the face of
the country’s current state of affairs, regardless of political, religious,
tribal, or sectional differences.
The vice president made the appeal when he received the
leadership of the 10th House of Representatives led by the Speaker, Rt. Hon.
Tajudeen Abbas in his office at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on a courtesy
visit.
Shettima urged the House of Representatives to back the
agenda of the Tinubu administration, stating, “The President is determined to
redefine the meaning and concept of modern leadership. He started firing on all
cylinders from day one. The President has proved his competence, capability,
and commitment. I urge you, the Rt. Hon. Speaker and the esteemed leadership of
the House to support the President in his noble objectives of transforming this
nation.
“The state of affairs in our country requires that we
coalesce into a single force, irrespective of differences in political
affiliations or religious persuasions, tribal and sectional backgrounds,
because what binds us together supersedes what divides us.”
He expressed his support for the legislature, stressing his
shared experience as a former member of the National Assembly with President
Tinubu, and assured the delegation that they would find harmonious ways to work
together for the benefit of the nation.
Addressing the new principal officers of the House of
Representatives, Shettima praised their leadership qualities and urged them to
unite under the Speaker’s guidance, emphasising the transition from politics to
governance and the need to address the core challenges facing the country as a
cohesive force.
Responding, the Speaker assured the Vice President of the
House’s support for all federal government programme and policies, expressing a
willingness to collaborate on matters that serve the interests of the Nigerian
public.
The delegation accompanying the Speaker included Deputy
Speaker Hon. Benjamin Kalu, Deputy Majority Leader Hon. Halims Abdullahi, Chief
Whip Hon. Bello Kumo, Deputy Chief Whip Hon. Adewunmi Onanuga, Minority Leader
Hon. Kingsley Chinda, Deputy Minority Leader Hon. Aliyu Madaki, Minority Whip
Hon. Ali Isah, and Deputy Minority Whip Hon. George Ozodinobi.
