Kashim Shettima: A True Partner in Leadership and a Pillar of Commitment

By Aliyu Comrade

From the very onset of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, Vice President Kashim Shettima has proven to be a vital force in driving the shared vision of transforming Nigeria. His unwavering commitment, humility, and leadership qualities have not only complemented the President’s agenda but have also demonstrated why he was the ideal choice for the position of Vice President.

President Tinubu’s decision to select Kashim Shettima as his running mate was a strategic and visionary one, rooted in Shettima’s track record as a dedicated public servant and an exceptional leader. As the former Governor of Borno State, Shettima distinguished himself through his pragmatic approach to governance, his ability to navigate complex challenges, and his deep connection to the needs of the people. These traits, combined with his astute understanding of Nigeria’s socio-economic landscape, made him the perfect candidate to work alongside the President in delivering the Renewed Hope agenda.

Since assuming office, Vice President Shettima has taken his role with remarkable seriousness, reflecting the ethos of teamwork and responsibility that defines the Tinubu administration. Whether representing Nigeria on the global stage or addressing pressing domestic issues, Shettima has demonstrated a rare ability to balance diplomacy with decisive action. His recent attendance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he effectively positioned Nigeria as a hub for investment and economic growth, is a testament to his commitment to the administration’s goal of revitalizing the economy.

Domestically, Shettima has been relentless in engaging with stakeholders across various sectors, ensuring that the administration’s policies are not only understood but also effectively implemented. His frequent visits to states, such as his recent trip to Kebbi and Borno, showcase his dedication to fostering national unity and ensuring that no region is left behind in the pursuit of progress.

Beyond governance, Shettima’s humility and personal touch are evident in his participation in community and social events, including weddings and cultural gatherings. These engagements highlight his recognition of the importance of cultural values and social cohesion in nation-building.

President Tinubu’s choice of Kashim Shettima was not just about selecting a Vice President but about choosing a trusted partner who embodies the principles of loyalty, hard work, and selflessness. Shettima’s ability to align his vision with that of his principal reflects his deep-seated commitment to the success of the administration and the prosperity of the nation.

In Vice President Shettima, Nigerians see a leader who is not only a subordinate but also a statesman—someone who values collaboration, embraces responsibility, and remains focused on delivering tangible results. His commitment from the early days of the administration continues to inspire confidence, not just in his principal but also in the millions of Nigerians who look to this administration for transformative leadership.

As the Tinubu-Shettima administration charts the course for a brighter future, Vice President Kashim Shettima remains a cornerstone of its success—a true partner in leadership whose actions speak volumes about his dedication to serving the nation with integrity and excellence.

Breaking: Kanu fails to open defence, cites former counsel’s retention of case file

By: Zagazola Makama

The detained leader of the proscribed separatist group, Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, on Friday failed to open his defence in his ongoing terrorism trial before a Federal High Court in Abuja.

Kanu attributed his inability to present his defence to the failure of his former legal team, led by former Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) Kanu Agabi, to hand over his case file, preventing him from adequately preparing.

The defendant was initially slated to open his defence on Thursday but instead announced the sacking of his legal team and requested a short adjournment until Friday.

On Friday, the prosecuting counsel, Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN), informed the court that the case was scheduled for Kanu to open his defence. When called, Kanu informed the court he could not proceed as those responsible for delivering his case file to the Department of State Services (DSS) facility, where he is being held, had failed to do so.

Kanu prayed for an adjournment until Monday, October 27, to access the case file and familiarise himself with its contents. He further stated he was expecting witnesses from the United Kingdom, the United States, Kenya, and Ethiopia, and requested an order allowing him to meet with them over the weekend for preparation.

The court granted his request, instructing the DSS to allow Kanu receive visitors on Saturday and Sunday. Justice James Omotosho adjourned the trial till October 27 for Kanu to open his defence, warning that the six days initially granted for his defence, which began on October 23, will not be extended.

Troops of the Nigerian Army under Operation Hadin Kai have foiled a series of ambush attacks by Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists along the Damasak–Gubio road in Magumeri axis of Borno State.

Zagazola Makama gathered that the troops, who were on a fighting patrol as part of Operation Desert Sanity IV, came under fire from suspected terrorists on arrival at Binduldul.

Sources stated that the troops responded with superior firepower, forcing the terrorists to flee in disarray. Reinforcements led by the Commanding Officer of the Battalion later exploited the scene, recovering two motorcycles, one AK-47 rifle, five blankets, three praying mats, a spare motorcycle tyre and two gallons of engine oil.

The sources added that one terrorist was neutralised during the encounter.

Furthermore, at about 3:05 p.m. on the same day, while withdrawing from the area, the troops encountered another ambush involving an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) attack followed by heavy gunfire from ISWAP fighters near Kardio village.

The soldiers successfully repelled the assault, safely detonated another IED along their main supply route, and returned to base without any casualty.
