FCT, Abuja – Amid hardship, Vice President Kashim Shettima has called on Nigerians to rally around President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as he works to address the countryâs socio-political, economic, and security challenges.
Shettima made this call as he said that his house in Maiduguri was better than Tinubuâs house in Bourdillon, Lagos, adding that “there was nothing special about the Presidentâs Bourdillon house.”
As reported by The Punch, the VP spoke in Abuja on Thursday, August 15, at a book launch authored by Professor Modupe Adelabu, a retired professor of Educational Administration at the Department of Educational Management at the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife.
Shettima assured Nigerians that the benefits of the tough measures being implemented will soon be evident.
Buttressing his point, the Vice President emphasised that the focus should not be on lamenting the nationâs past or present difficulties but on finding solutions to the core challenges, The Nation reported.
Shettima said:
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that President Tinubu-led federal government has reacted to the alleged seizure of three presidential jets in France.
The Presidency said the jets are protected by diplomatic immunity and foreign Court are forbidden from issuing an order against them.
The Chinese company was accused of withholding vital information and misleading the Judicial Court in Paris into attaching the Nigerian government’s presidential jets.
