Vice President Kashim Shettima has urged the National Assembly to prioritize unity and national development over political divisions and partisan interests. He made this call during a recent Iftar gathering hosted by President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Furthermore, he emphasized the importance of humility and a shared commitment to progress among lawmakers. He said, “In the end, history will not judge us by the number of personal battles we fought against one another, but by the bridges we were able to build together.
Reflecting on the significance of Ramadan, Shettima called for deep introspection and a reaffirmation of commitment to Nigeria’s unity. He commended President Tinubu’s leadership, describing him as a “man of vision and inclusivity” who trusts and sees lawmakers as stewards of democracy and partners in building a better Nigeria.
The Vice President also lauded the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, and the House leadership for fostering harmony within the legislature. He emphasized that leadership is not about personal gain but about service, and urged leaders to govern with empathy, fairness, and justice.
In a show of support, the House of Representatives donated ₦705 million to President Tinubu, which will be used to augment humanitarian engagements and support vulnerable people in the country.
