Vice-President Kashim Shettima has appealed to people who intend to mark his 58th birthday in a glamorous way not to place congratulatory adverts.
Gatekeepers News reports that Shettima made the appeal through a statement released by Senior Special Assistant to President on Media and Communications (Office of The Vice President), Stanley Nkwocha on Thursday in Abuja.
The former Governor of Borno state and Senator representing Borno Central Secretariat district will turn 58 years old on Monday, 2 September 2024.
Shettima implored friends and associates who may wish to place goodwill messages as advertisements to donate the funds to charity organisations and vulnerable citizens instead, as he won’t be marking the day in a grand way.
He said, “As this auspicious moment draws closer, V-P Shettima fervently implores family members, friends and associates who may wish to place goodwill messages as advertisements to kindly donate the funds to charity organisations and vulnerable citizens instead.”
“This aligns with the commitment of the Renewed Hope Administration of President Bola Tinubu to address issues of development and economic growth, as well as improving the living conditions of Nigerians.”
“The vice president remains ever grateful for the goodwill he enjoys from Nigerians and the best wishes a great number of his well-wishers have demonstrated toward him over the years.”
