VP Shettima Calls for Unity and Sacrifice as Economic Reforms Bite
Vice-President Kashim Shettima used his Eid-el-Kabir message to urge Nigerians to rise above ethnic, religious and political divides. He reminded citizens that the spirit of sacrifice, compassion and obedience shown by Prophet Ibrahim remains vital for national stability and growth. He stressed that unity and peaceful coexistence are essential for tackling insecurity, poverty and social dislocation. Shettima reaffirmed President Tinubu’s commitment to stabilising the economy, creating jobs and expanding opportunities, but warned that these reforms require patience and shared sacrifice. The vice-president appealed for renewed support for the administration’s agenda. He praised the armed forces and security agencies for their sacrifices and assured Nigerians that “no matter how long the night may seem, dawn will surely come.” But the post also carries a sharper reminder: more taxes and austerity may be on the way. Nigerians are warned to curb extravagance and brace for tougher fiscal demands next year.
