Speaking at a wedding ceremony in Maiduguri, Borno State, where he was the Special Guest of Honour, Shettima asserted that protests do not solve national challenges but rather lead to the destruction of lives and properties. He urged citizens to choose peace and unity over violence.
“The Vice President emphasized that protest has never been a solution for nations to solve their challenges, but rather an avenue for destruction of human lives and properties,” said Shettima, while attending the marriage ceremony of four daughters of the Shehu of Borno, Alhaji Dr. Abubakar Ibn Umar Garba Al Amin El-Kanemi.
Shettima, who personally gave away one of the Shehu’s daughters in marriage, wished the newlyweds a blissful marital life.
Addressing the nation, he stated, “I want to use this opportunity to call on our people to eschew violence. There can never be development without peace; there can never be peace without development. I implore all our youths not to follow the path of anarchy and destruction.”
He assured Nigerians that President Tinubu is aware of the nation’s struggles and is dedicated to overcoming inherited challenges.
The Vice President urged Nigerians to trust the Federal Government, promising that the administration’s efforts to transform the nation into a leading economy with robust social welfare will soon be evident.
Commenting on the gradual return of peace to Borno State, Shettima added, “We have faced enough challenges in Borno, in the subregion, and the nation as a whole. This is a time for unity and focused development. I call on the people of Borno to support our governor, who is tirelessly working to address our developmental deficits and provide relief to the downtrodden.”
