"President Bola Tinubu Needs Support of Nigerians" – Vice President Shettima Calls for National Unity

In a passionate appeal to the Nigerian populace, Vice President Kashim Shettima has emphasized the urgent need for collective support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, stating that the president cannot succeed without the backing of the people.

Speaking at a public event in Abuja on Friday, Shettima reaffirmed that President Tinubu's administration is focused on reshaping the Nigerian economy, fixing systemic issues, and promoting inclusive governance.

However, he stressed that progress cannot be made unless Nigerians across all sectors unite in support.

“No government can succeed in isolation. President Tinubu needs the understanding, prayers, and full support of every Nigerian to move this country forward,” Shettima said.

The VP’s statement comes amidst ongoing reactions to President Tinubu’s bold economic reforms — including the removal of fuel subsidies, efforts to unify exchange rates, and steps toward curbing government expenditure.

While these reforms have been met with mixed reactions, the administration insists they are crucial for long-term stability and economic recovery. Shettima acknowledged the temporary hardship many Nigerians are facing, but urged patience.

“We know that the road is tough, but we are not turning back. The president is laying the foundation for a better Nigeria. Let us endure the present challenges for the sake of future generations.”

VP Shettima also encouraged Nigerians to play active roles in nation-building — not just by holding leaders accountable, but also by remaining hopeful and committed to peace and progress.

He cited countries like Rwanda and Singapore that overcame adversity through unity and collective responsibility, saying Nigeria is capable of doing even more with the right attitude and support.

In what aligns with Google's most searched phrase today — unity in diversity — Shettima’s speech underscores a critical theme in Nigeria’s journey.

The nation’s vast ethnic, religious, and cultural diversity has often been a source of division, but the VP insisted it can also be its greatest strength.

He called on the youth, religious leaders, civil society, and the private sector to rise above differences and work for the common good.

With just over two years into Tinubu’s administration, the road ahead remains both challenging and full of potential.

Economic indices are beginning to shift, and key global investors are once again eyeing Nigeria. But for any meaningful and lasting change to occur, Vice President Shettima believes it will take all hands on deck.

The message is clear: President Bola Tinubu needs the support of every Nigerian. According to VP Shettima, national progress depends not just on policies and reforms, but on the unity, cooperation, and resilience of the people.

As Nigeria stands at a pivotal moment in its history, perhaps now more than ever, the call for unity, understanding, and active participation should not be ignored.
