Tinubu/Shettima: An Understanding Relationship Beyond Political Lines
Tinubu/Shettima: An Understanding Relationship Beyond Political Lines
By: James Bwala
I disagree with reports attributed to Primate Elijah Ayodele of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church in which he was said to have said that there will be a division or issues between the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, and his Vice, Senator Kashim Shettima, when the new administration assumes office because the relationship that is currently existing between Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his Vice President elect, Senator Kashim Shettima, transcends political lines
Borno state has a tradition of respect for individuals who are physically older than ourselves, and Kashim Shettima is a real Borno man. The Vice President-elect and the President-elect have a long-standing connection, and as a result, they both understand what it takes to control any egotistical interests that may arise in the name of regional politics, as is being indicated.

Oluwatosin Osho, his media assistant, released a statement on his behalf in which Ayodele said that the Southwest and Northern cabals will not have a happy ending. One cannot rule out conflicting interests between the northern and southwest cabal, assuming there is one in the incoming administration. Whatever the President-elect’s interests may be, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has the support of those who have fought with him for the common good, and the Vice President-elect remained strong in the line of those who stood strong for Asiwaju.

Their wives appeared to have embraced this kind of relationship, which I have also observed as I have followed their relationship through time. They will make every effort to improve this relationship despite any difficulties that may arise. In addition to being astute observers of events, Kashim Shettima and Tinubu possess the intelligence to sift through the rhetoric of sycophants who feed on strife to put food on their tables.

My personal acquaintance Kashim Shettima possesses a great character and the ability to differentiate between truth and fabrication. He saw Tinubu not just as a political soulmate and mentor, but also as a big brother who focused on developing relationships. People who may be warming up to such an event should take note of Tinubu’s open-minded nature, who talks honestly and does not conceal his opinions about matters. As a result, he cannot retain any talebearer near who could wish to bring up uncomfortable topics in their established connection with Shettima.

Any effort to split them up will be met with a brick wall. But it is noteworthy that a man like Primate Ayodele would make such a warning, stating that “…aside from these ones, President-elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President-elect Kashim Shettima will have issues.” There will be an effort to split them apart. Additionally, there will be conflicts between the South-West and Northern Cabals, which will prevent everything from going smoothly until the very end.”
I don’t know if this was a prophecy as well, despite it purportedly coming from the revered Primate, but one thing is certain: in Nigeria, we often hear terrible prophecies about our leaders rather than concentrating on the biblical advice to pray for them. Over 200 million Nigerians will be under Tinubu and Shettima’s reign, and they would not be concerned with religion, region, or ethnicity. They (Tinubu and Shettima) already understand that they must make a difference, and the encouragement from well-meaning individuals will be sufficient to propel them to greatness as they run a peaceful government.
For those who might want to use selfish means to bring about a catastrophe in Nigeria, I would like to remind them that while they have made numerous negative predictions and anticipated many unpleasant events, God’s supremacy has always triumphed through his mercies, even under the current administration. Additionally, we pray that the supremacy of God will guide the next administration and provide the way for a growth of the renewed hope vision under the leadership of Tinubu and Shettima.

Re-run election into the national assembly, a Triumph of Democracy – Kwande
By: Bodunrin Kayode
A Plateau elder Ambassador Yahaya Kwande has described the just concluded re-run election into the national assembly as a Triumph of Democracy.
In a release titled Congratulations to the Winners of Plateau State Bye Elections of February 3, 2024, he noted that the entire exercise was a victory to the people of the state.
“With great joy and profound gratitude, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the newly elected Senator, (Plateau North Senatorial District), Prince Pam Mwadkwon Dachungyang, and the Member of the House of Representatives, (Jos North/Bassa Constituency), Hon. Daniel Asama, on their resounding victory in the recently concluded bye election held in Plateau State.
“Your triumph is a testament to the true spirit of democracy and the unwavering support of the people.
“I have no doubt that both Prince Pam Mwadkon and Hon. Daniel Asama will live up to the aspirations and expectations of the voters, as they embark on this noble responsibility of representing their constituents. May your tenure be marked by dedication, integrity, and a relentless pursuit of progress for our beloved state and nation.
“As we celebrate this momentous milestone, let us not forget the challenges we faced during the post-2023 elections period. It is my sincere hope that Plateau State will swiftly recover from the divisions and tussles that marred our unity. Let us unite as one, for the strength of our state lies in our togetherness.
“It is essential for the government and the people to undertake immediate measures to reconcile and bridge the gaps that have emerged. We must never forget that every citizen, irrespective of their religion or ethnicity, is entitled to their fundamental rights. The use of religion as a tool of disfranchisement must cease; we must affirm that citizenship rights are not conditional on faith.
“Let us also strive to recapture the lost glory of our state, when Jos was hailed as the political Mecca of Nigeria, attracting momentous political events and embracing politicians from all shades and ideologies. We can revive this legacy by nurturing an environment that exudes peace, openness, and security for all. Together, we can restore Plateau State as a beacon of democratic excellence.
“In conclusion, I express my utmost optimism for the future of Plateau State. I extend my deepest appreciation to all who peacefully participated in the bye election, be it as candidates or enthusiastic supporters. Our journey towards progress and development continues, and I am confident that we will stand united, empowered by the unwavering spirit of our people.” said Kwande.

The National President of the APC Initiative for Good Governance (APC-IGG), Ambassador Musa Mohammed Tsoken, has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for intervening to ease the hardships affecting Nigerians.
In a message he issued to newsmen in Abuja on Monday, Ambassador Tsoken described President Tinubu as a leader with listening war by giving a marching order for the release of different food items to ease hardships for the people of Nigeria, which is a good initiative.
”APC-IGG has recognized what Mr. President has done in order to ease the hardship affecting the people on the food price hike, which is very good foresight from our leader. We therefore thank all those who have helped with the implementation of the process to release the food items from the federal government reserves across the country for their well-deserved thought.” The statement was added.
Ambassador Musa Mohammed Tsoken reassured the people of Nigeria that the APC Initiative for Good Governance would continue to work selflessly in order to ensure that Nigeria is progressive under the present democratic dispensation without bias.
Amb Tsoken emphasizes that the emergence of His Excellency Sen. Dr. George Akume as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation depicts the fact that President Bola Ahmad Tinubu has reliable and credible individuals who have verse experience in governance from all ramifications; therefore, the deliverance of democratic dividends is something that Nigerians should believe in its workability and full efficacy in the near future, considering the fact that some of the policies and programs of the Renewed Hope Agenda have started gaining sway in the lives of the citizenry, he concluded.
