Shettima informs North East leaders that Tinubu has good intentions for Nigeria.

On Thursday, October 5, Vice President Kashim Shettima stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has the best interests of Nigeria in mind.

The Vice President made this statement when he met with the board and management of the North East Development Commission (NEDC), led by its Chairman, Maj. Gen. Paul Tarfa, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja to receive the North-East Stabilization and Development Master Plan (NESDMP).

The President has good intentions for the country, according to Vice President Shettima. Bola Tinubu's soul has been revealed to me, and I won't stop expressing that.

Shettima gave the group the assurance that the North East Development Strategy and Plan document will reach the NEDC's managing director in less than 48 hours.

Shettima emphasized the need of open leadership when recalling the NEDC board and management's visit, during which they gave him a 10-year master plan for the region's development on Wednesday, Oct. 4.

In his words: "If you put in place a leadership that is incompetent and corrupt, you cannot get a cent from these agencies. 80% of the predicted NEDC budgeted fund is coming from international agencies.

"I gave the NEDC management the responsibility of seeing that they make real investments in three crucial areas: digital education, irrigation technology for agriculture, and electric vehicle technology.

"Poverty, instability, and destitution unite us all. Religion or race are not the issue. Religion has devolved into a collection of meaningless rituals. To defeat these common foes, we must band together.
