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.
