Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State on Monday disclosed why President Bola Tinubu picked Kashim Shettima as his Vice President.
Abiodun said Shettima’s statesmanship, resourcefulness and “penchant for paradigm change” made him a suitable choice for the position of Vice President.
Celebrating Shettima on his 58th birthday, the governor described the Vice President as an embodiment of a true leader.
In a statement he signed, Abiodun said Shettima was an intellectual par excellence and a reliable patriot.
He said: “On behalf of my family, the government and the good people of Ogun State, I heartily congratulate our cerebral Vice president, Senator Kashim Shettima, on the occasion of his 58th birthday.
“Today, we celebrate not only the anniversary of your birth but also the remarkable journey you have undertaken in service to our great nation. Your unwavering commitment to nation-building and your relentless pursuit of progress have left an indelible mark on the fabric of our society.
