I warmly felicitate with His Excellency, Senator Kashim Shettima, GCON, Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, on the occasion of his 60th birthday. On behalf of my family, the people of Delta Central Senatorial District, I join his family, colleagues and Nigerians across the country in celebrating this significant milestone and honouring a life marked by distinguished public service, leadership and an enduring commitment to the unity and progress of our nation.
Vice President Shettima’s journey from the banking profession to the highest levels of public service, including his tenure as Governor of Borno State, his service as Senator representing Borno Central and his present responsibility as Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, speaks to a life of service and responsibility. His years in public office, particularly his stewardship of Borno State during a period of profound security and socio-economic challenges, have demonstrated courage, resilience and a willingness to serve the nation in difficult times. These are qualities that deserve recognition as he attains this important milestone.
As he marks his 60th birthday, I commend the Vice President for the wisdom, experience and commitment he continues to bring to the service of our country and for his important role in advancing the Renewed Hope Agenda of the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. At a time when Nigeria requires leadership that is purposeful, inclusive and anchored in the national interest, I am confident that Vice President Shettima’s experience in governance, public administration and economic affairs will continue to contribute meaningfully to our collective efforts to strengthen the economy, deepen national unity and promote sustainable development.
I join Nigerians, his family, friends and associates in wishing His Excellency many more years of good health, wisdom and fulfilment in the service of our nation. May Almighty God continue to guide and protect him, grant him strength and sound judgment in the discharge of his responsibilities, and bless him with many more years in which to contribute to the peace, unity and prosperity of Nigeria. Happy 60th birthday, Your Excellency.
Signed:
Senator Ede Dafinone,
Delta Central Senatorial District.
