Nigeria’s Vice President, Kashim Shettima, has hailed Bola Tinubu’s ascent to the presidency as a divine gift for the nation.
Speaking to a delegation from the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC) during their visit to the Presidential Villa in Abuja, Shettima spoke of the significance of Tinubu’s journey to power.
“The road that led to the Tinubu Presidency did not happen by chance,” Shettima told a delegation of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC), on a courtesy visit at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Friday.
“The President’s success is a divine blessing which is a reward for the purity of his heart,” he said.
”President Tinubu made sacrifices and built bridges. He was a veritable sanctuary for victims of political witch hunts.
”When other governors were struggling to have a seat at the dining table with former President Olusegun Obasanjo way back then, he provided an alternative platform for the Nigerian political system,” he said.
Shettima then urged Nigerians to exercise patience and support Tinubu’s leadership, emphasizing that his presidency was not a stroke of luck but a result of his dedication to the nation’s well-being.
He urged the newly appointed Board of NCPC to exhibit unwavering commitment to their duties, emphasizing the importance of religious dedication in addressing national challenges.
