President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated Vice President Kashim Shettima on his 59th birthday, describing him as a loyal partner and steadfast leader dedicated to Nigeria’s progress.
In a statement on Tuesday, Tinubu commended Shettima’s record of public service, recalling his years as Governor of Borno State and Senator representing Borno Central, where he demonstrated resilience and a clear commitment to leadership as service.
The President said Shettima has brought competence, vibrancy, and fresh perspectives to the Presidency, reinforcing the government’s efforts to deliver on its Renewed Hope Agenda. He highlighted his deputy’s role in strengthening global partnerships, pushing food security, and driving reforms to improve investment, schools, hospitals, and job creation.
“Our relationship goes beyond official duties. It is a bridge across regions and traditions, united in purpose and service. You remind us of what is possible when Nigeria comes first,” Tinubu said.
Wishing him renewed vitality and more years of impact, Tinubu prayed that Shettima’s contributions would continue to inspire leadership built on loyalty, courage, and the pursuit of national prosperity.
