Nigeria’s vice President, Kashim Shettima on Friday said the emergency of President Bola Tinubu was not by chance but a divine blessing as his heart is pure.
Shettima stated this on Friday when he hosted a delegation of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC) on a courtesy visit at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
“The road that led to the Tinubu Presidency did not happen by chance. This is a man whose trajectory is characterised by making sacrifices for the good of the nation.
“The President’s success is a Divine blessing which is a reward for the purity of his heart,” he said.
Shettima emphasised the need for leaders to invest in building bridges, stressing that Tinubu’s contributions in providing an alternative platform for the Nigerian political system could not be underrated.
“President Tinubu made sacrifices and built bridges. He was a veritable sanctuary for victims of political witch hunts.
“When other governors were struggling to have a seat at the dining table with former President Olusegun Obasanjo way back then, he provided an alternative platform for the Nigerian political system,” he said.
Shettima urged the newly appointed Board of NCPC to demonstrate unwavering devotion to duty.
Earlier, the Executive Secretary of NCPC, Bishop Stephen Adegbite, expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for the opportunity given to them to serve on the board.
He also commended the Vice President’s exceptional leadership, recounting instances of support for the Church and efforts to foster peace and harmony in Borno State.
“Your antecedent and what we have known about you are immense.
“When we came to Maiduguri, Borno State, I was the Director of National Issues and Social Welfare at the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).
“The then CAN chairman in Borno State said to us that they had an exceptional governor, who supported Christians and rebuilt churches destroyed by Boko Haram,” he said.
He added that Vice President Shettima stood with the Church and ensured that there was peace and harmony in the church in Nigeria and with people of other faiths. CONTINUE READING………………………
