‎In a personal message, Tinubu celebrated Shettima’s vibrancy and unwavering support, calling him a trusted ally in their shared mission of national renewal.

‎“Today, Sept. 2, 2025, presents another unique opportunity to celebrate you, my brother, co-traveller and Vice President, as you mark another birthday.

‎”Since we embarked on this journey, united by the shared vision of building a more prosperous nation, your courage, sense of duty, tenacity, determination, and belief in Nigeria’s greatness have remained unshaken.

‎”I deeply appreciate your vibrancy, loyalty, partnership, and support as my deputy,” Tinubu said.

‎The President reflected on his decision to choose Shettima as running mate, highlighting his competence, leadership, and consistency in service.

‎”In choosing you then as a partner, I selected competence and other qualities that Nigeria could depend on.

‎”Every day, as Vice President, you have justified that choice by strengthening our work, bringing fresh perspectives, and upholding our commitment to Nigerians.

‎“Your dedication reassures me that I did not make a mistake in choosing you as my deputy,” he said.

‎Tinubu lauded Shettima’s political journey from Governor of Borno to Senator, commending his service in the face of challenges.

‎”You served the people of Borno, your home state, excellently as Governor for eight years and later as Senator representing Borno Central in the National Assembly.

‎”In both roles, you showed that leadership is service, not privilege, even in the face of immense challenges,” he said.

‎He emphasised their joint commitment to the Renewed Hope Agenda, aimed at delivering tangible dividends of democracy to Nigerians

‎”Together, we have begun to lay the foundations of the Renewed Hope Agenda.

‎”From securing new global partnerships across the Atlantic to driving food security and investment reforms at home, your partnership has been integral to our success.

‎”In the months ahead, as we unlock new trade corridors and deliver more schools, hospitals, and jobs, our partnership will continue to yield results that Nigerians can see and feel.

‎”We must continue to work towards the full realisation of the Renewed Hope Agenda, which will foster prosperity in the country and enhance the living standards of our people,” he said.

‎Tinubu noted that their bond goes beyond politics, representing unity across regions and traditions.

‎”Our relationship transcends 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, an example worthy of emulation by those who aspire to lead.”

‎The President wished Shettima continued strength, wisdom, and many more impactful years in service to Nigeria. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
