Vice President Kashim Shettima has congratulated President Bola Tinubu on his 74th birthday, joining “millions of Nigerians” in celebrating a leader whose Renewed Hope Agenda is repositioning Nigeria toward sustainable prosperity.
In a State House press release titled “A Leader’s Milestone: Celebrating Vision, Courage and Achievement,” Shettima spotlighted key economic milestones under Tinubu’s “purposeful leadership” this past year.
“Our nation’s GDP growth has accelerated beyond projections, inflation trends show sustained decline, and foreign direct investment has surged to levels unseen in years,” the Vice President stated.
He praised Tinubu’s resolute focus on infrastructure development, which is “creating the arteries of commerce that will power Nigeria’s prosperity for generations to come.”
Shettima highlighted what distinguishes Tinubu’s leadership: “an uncommon fortitude: the willingness to make difficult choices today for a better tomorrow.” He noted that history will record Tinubu chose “the path of reform over the comfort of populism.”
Describing his experience as a “masterclass in decisive governance and principled leadership,” Shettima commended Tinubu’s ability to balance “empathy with firmness, vision with pragmatism.”
On this special day, Shettima prayed that Almighty Allah grant the President “robust health, renewed vigour, and continued wisdom to complete the vital work of national transformation.”
