The incoming vice president insisted that the Tinubu/Shettima administration wouldn’t have the luxury of time and that they would get started right away after taking office.
“I believe President Tinubu will hit the ground running from Day 1; we do not have the luxury of time.
I will be the vice president. I don’t want to be presumptions; I don’t want to make loud proclamations, but my good feeling and my interactions with him tend to show that we will hit the ground running from Day 1.”
Shettima described receiving the Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger (GCON) national accolade from President Muhammadu Buhari as a humble experience.
The incoming vice president solicited the support of all Nigerians and the media to enable the new administration to build a new Nigeria.
