Kashim Shettima, Nigeria’s vice president-elect says that now that the presidential election is over, time has come for the stakeholders in the opposition and even the aggrieved ones in the ruling party to let sleeping dogs lie and support president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu in building a strong nation.
Speaking with journalists in Abuja, after a brief presentation at the Senate plenary, he particularly called on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP) among others, to sheathe their swords.
Shettima described the victory of Tinubu and himself as a Nigerian ticket and pledged that the administration would work for the unity, stability and progress of the nation.
