Meanwhile, Vice-President Kashim Shettima has praised President Bola Tinubu, describing him as a humble leader who shuns extravagance. Speaking at a book launch in Abuja on Thursday, Shettima emphasized Tinubu’s dedication to improving the country’s fortunes.
Shettima remarked that Tinubu’s primary focus is on national development, not personal wealth.
He shared a personal anecdote, contrasting his home in Maiduguri with Tinubu’s residence in Bourdillon, Ikoyi, Lagos, highlighting the simplicity of the president’s lifestyle.
He recalled a visit where, despite an array of meals being served to guests, Tinubu opted for a modest meal of garri and groundnut.
“In President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we have a leader that we can invest our trust in. I’m not playing politics, I’m speaking from the heart. I have seen the soul of Bola Tinubu, and he has a good soul.”
