Vice-President Kashim Shettima says governors and members of
the national assembly should support President Bola Tinubu to take Nigeria to
greater heights.
Shettima spoke on Friday at a meeting with Senate President
Godswill Akpabio, Tajudeen Abbas, speaker of the house of representatives, and
AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, Kwara governor, and chairman of the Nigeria Governors
Forum (NGF), among others in Lagos state.
The vice-president said there is a need for collaboration
among all stakeholders to achieve shared prosperity and a promised brighter
future for the country.
“Let us unite, rally around our leader, and catapult this
nation to a greater pedestal,” Shettima said.
“By December, I hope
we will have cause to celebrate. Let us coalesce to take the nation to a
greater pedestal.
”This gathering cuts across ethnic, religious, and political
lines.
“Here, we have Pastor Eno of Akwa Ibom and Father Hyacinth
of Benue, and as the President was seated, he was asking, ‘Where is Wammako,
where is Yari’?
“That is the hallmark
of true leadership. What binds us together supersedes whatever it is that may
divide us.
”The future of the black man rests on Nigeria to make or
mar. Our economy has turned the corner. By the coming months, the economy will
roar back to glory.”
On his part, Akpabio said the governors have done well by
emulating Tinubu.
“The governors are doing well. I can say so because I have
been there before,” the senate president said.
“As you coast home to
victory for a second term, may all the governors seated here also coast home to
a second term victory in their states.”
Also speaking, the Kwara governor said the proposed
700-kilometre Lagos-Calabar coastal highway would have a significant impact on
the nation when completed.
“We commend your efforts because the ship is gradually
turning. We have seen how the exchange rate of the naira against the dollar is
coming down,” he said.
“The cost of food is coming down. The dry season harvest is
commencing soon. Things are getting better, and there is light at the end of
the tunnel.”
