Vice-President Kashim Shettima has said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is tackling long-standing challenges in Nigeria head-on, unlike his predecessors.
Gatekeepers News reports that the vice president made the statement while speaking at a special Iftar to mark the president’s birthday at the presidential villa in Abuja.
According to Shettima; Tinubu is making it possible for future leaders of the country will avoid ” the same ghosts that haunted past administrations.”
The VP said President Tinubu is rewriting the country’s history, adding that the “path to national greatness is lined with difficult choices.”
He said, “Thanks to his boldness, future presidents of Nigeria will not have to wrestle with the same ghosts that haunted past administrations, including fraud-ridden fuel subsidies, an unstable forex market, and the suppression of local government autonomy.”
“These were the thorny issues that many before him sidestepped. But Asiwaju did not sidestep history; he came to rewrite it.”
“And in rewriting it, Asiwaju has taken the bullets that many before him simply lacked the courage to face. But that is the thing about true leadership: it is not for those who seek comfort. It is for those who understand that the path to national greatness is lined with difficult choices.”
