Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Vice-President Kashim Shettima on Wednesday dismissed insinuations that President Bola Tinubu was working against the interests of Northern Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Shettima spoke when he received a Federal Government delegation led by the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Bajabiamila, on a condolence visit over the death of his mother-in-law, Hajiya Maryam Abubakar, in Kano.<\/p>\n

He mentioned the appointment of the two ministers of defence, the Chief of Defence Staff, and the Chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC), among others, from the North as evidence of the president\u2019s commitment to the region\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n

He, therefore, urged Nigerians to support Tinubu\u2019s efforts to make Nigeria great.<\/p>\n

The Vice President stressed that governance transcends political party affiliations.<\/p>\n

Shettima added that the country\u2019s unity and progress were more important than party differences.<\/p>\n

He reminded that Nigeria\u2019s greatness was a collective responsibility, and that political party affiliations should not be a yardstick for division and destruction.Balanced, fearless journalism driven by data comes at huge financial costs.<\/p>\n
