The Lawmakers in a glowing tribute eulogized the number two citizen for his natural attributes, courage, passion and determination to ensure his Boss, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu actualize his Renewed Hope Agenda to all Nigerians and those in diaspora.
In a press statement signed by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Abdulkarim Lawan on Monday in Maiduguri, the Lawmakers described Shettima “as a visionary leader who transcends human comprehension.
“It is indeed with no doubt that VP Shettima is a de-tribalized leader, which could be attest to the fact that most of his aides, friends and associates are more of another tribe than his own tribe (Kanuri).
“The Borno State House of Assembly members, management and staff took the opportunity as a honor to join your family, friends and well -wishers, to celebrate with you as you clock 58 years old.
“From your days as Borno state Governor to Senator and now as VP, your stories have been exceptional examples of perseverance with patience, moving up the ladder with grace and humility, managing people with wisdom, and above all, living with a large, open and welcoming heart -very typical of strong and great man.
“Your courage and consistency stand you out as an inspiration, role model, patriot and great nationalist. It is our prayer that Allah (God) Almighty will continue to uphold you as you continue to serve the good people of Nigeria with determination and honesty.
“We are proud to associate with your leadership qualities and pray for your good health, long life and prosperity, as we all navigate towards achieving the desired transformation and the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President”. The Speaker concluded.
