Tinubu Baking ‘New Cake’ For Nigerians, Says VP Shettima’s Wife
Wife of the Vice President, Hajiya Nana Shettima, has praised President Bola Tinubu, describing him as a visionary leader “baking a new cake” for Nigerians—one that will benefit not only the current generation but also future generations yet to come.
Speaking in Maiduguri, Borno State, during an annual Ramadan feast attended by women groups, students, and community leaders, Hajiya Shettima commended the administration’s economic reforms, empowerment programs, and investments across key sectors. She emphasized that the government was laying a solid foundation for a brighter and more prosperous Nigeria.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is baking a new cake for us that are alive today, and for the Nigerian children and grandchildren that are coming behind us,” Hajiya Shettima said. “He is ably supported by our lovely First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, and they both mean well for this country.”
She urged Nigerians to continue supporting the administration with prayers and constructive engagement, advising them to move beyond politically motivated criticism and instead focus on providing thoughtful suggestions to guide policy. She added, “We should not forget him and his subordinates in our prayers,” expressing confidence that the President had the best interests of Borno and the entire country at heart.
Hajiya Shettima also highlighted the significant impact of the First Lady’s Renewed Hope Initiative, which supports vulnerable groups, including women, children, and people living with disabilities.
In addition, Dr. Asabe Bashir, Director General of the Maryam Babangida Centre for Women Development, encouraged citizens to deepen their spiritual discipline during Ramadan. Dr. Bashir also expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for selecting Vice President Shettima from Borno State, stressing that the success of the administration would directly benefit the people.
Tijjani Abubakar, Speaker of the Youth Assembly of Nigeria, commended the President’s support for youth empowerment, while Dr. Martins Ekunke, who represented the South-South, Yoruba, and Igbo communities in Borno, praised Senator Tinubu’s advocacy for people living with HIV/AIDS.
The event drew a wide array of attendees, including the wives of top Borno State legislators, female commissioners, political appointees, students, and community leaders, all of whom united in calling for prayerful support for the Tinubu administration.
