The All Progressives Congress has celebrated Vice President Kashim Shettima on his 60th birthday, commending his years of selfless service and commitment to Nigeria’s development.

The APC, in a congratulatory message signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, on Wednesday, described Shettima’s 60th birthday as a significant milestone, highlighting his contributions as former Governor of Borno State, senator and Vice President of Nigeria.

The statement read, “The All Progressives Congress heartily joins millions of Nigerians, party faithful and well-wishers across the globe in celebrating our dynamic Vice President, His Excellency, Senator Kashim Shettima, GCON, on the joyous occasion of his 60th birthday anniversary.

“Attaining the diamond age of 60 is a milestone marked not just by years, but by a lifetime of selfless service, profound intellect and unyielding commitment to the progress and stability of our dear nation.

“As Governor of Borno State during some of the most challenging periods in the state’s history, Senator Shettima demonstrated extraordinary courage, resilience and compassionate governance. His commitment to infrastructure, education and human capital development laid the groundwork for the recovery and rebuilding of the entire North-East geopolitical zone. Later, as a distinguished Senator representing Borno Central, his legislative contributions consistently reflected his deep passion for socio-economic development and national unity.

“Consequent upon his elevation as Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Shettima continues to exemplify loyalty, strategic economic foresight and unwavering commitment to the implementation of the Renewed Hope Agenda of the President Bola Tinubu-led administration. His leadership of the National Economic Council and active driving of crucial economic initiatives are steering our nation toward sustainable development, industrial renaissance and prosperity for all citizens.”

The ruling party praised Shettima for his intellectual capacity, humility and efforts to foster unity, describing him as a key pillar of the APC-led Federal Government and an inspiration to younger African leaders.

“On this momentous occasion, the National Working Committee, leaders, stakeholders and the entire membership of the APC pray that Almighty Allah grants His Excellency excellent health, increased wisdom and divine strength as he continues to serve our fatherland.

“Happy 60th birthday, Mr Vice President!” it added.
