VP Shettima educates lawmakers-elect on national stability
The Vice President, Kashim Shettima has cautioned the lawmakers-elect to note that the stability of this nation is superior to the stability of their pockets.
In his remarks, Shettima told the Senators- elect to have in their minds that the stability of Nigeria was greater than the stability of their pockets and asked them to vote wisely during the election of Presiding officers for the progress of the country.
Shettima, who was a member of the 9th National Assembly but is now Vice President said, “As we bid farewell to this chapter, let us remember that our journey has just begun. For some of us, a new chapter beckons. As the mantle of leadership passes into fresh hands, those who will continue this noble calling, I extend my sincere congratulations.
“To my colleagues who will depart this chamber, I address you not as colleagues left behind, but as friends who have become an integral part of my history.
“We have served shoulder to shoulder in the face of adversity and worked relentlessly for the betterment of our nation.
“To my incoming colleagues, I will leave you with a parable, ‘the stability of this nation is superior to the stability of our pockets’. On Tuesday, let us vote wisely, let us vote for the Nigerian nation.”
