“The bond we share, anchored in loyalty and service, is one I will never take for granted. I have watched you shoulder the burden of difficult choices at critical moments, steering our nation through turbulent waters into a harbour of stability that promises abundance,” Shettima stated.

The Vice President lauded the President’s visionary and people-centred leadership.

He said serving alongside President Tinubu under the Renewed Hope Agenda has been an honour and a lifelong lesson in courage and statesmanship.

Shettima also extended his appreciation to the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, for her goodwill, as well as to governors, lawmakers, cabinet members, traditional rulers, religious leaders, community figures, and citizens across the country who sent prayers and kind words.

The Vice President described the gestures as a reminder of the sacred responsibility that comes with public service.

Reflecting on the goodwill messages, he said: “As I meditate on these tokens of goodwill, I am renewed in purpose and fortified in spirit. I remain convinced, as does Mr. President, that Nigeria’s greatest days are ahead of us.

“With unity of will, clarity of vision, and fidelity to our shared aspirations, we shall overcome our trials and bequeath to coming generations a nation that is secure, prosperous, and just.”
