President Tinubu Has Faithfully Kept His Promise Of Rebuilding Nigeria, Says VP Shettima
*As Ekiti declares 90% votes for president at APC presidential campaign rally in Ado-Ekiti
** Guber candidates of PDP, APM, SDP pledges full support for president’s re-election
The Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, has said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has remained fully faithful to his promises to rebuild Nigeria through bold and necessary economic reforms.
This comes just as the people of Ekiti State have declared that 90 per cent of the total registered voters in the state will be delivered for the president in the forthcoming presidential election.
Also, opposition figures in the state, including candidates of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the last governorship election, declared their support for the President, citing the positive impact of the Federal Government’s interventions in Ekiti.
Every second brings Nigerians closer to exercising their democratic right and shaping the future of our nation.
Exercise your democratic right responsibly, peacefully and lawfully.
Senator Shettima, who spoke on Thursday in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, during Presidential Campaign Rally of the All Progressives Congress (APC), acknowledged the sacrifices made by the citizens, saying the people were already reaping the benefits of the administration’s tough decisions.
He noted that while the commitments are currently being fulfilled, the Tinubu administration has returned to account for the work already done as well as the tasks ahead.

“We know the sacrifices you have made, and we are beginning to reap the benefits of those difficult decisions. His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has remained faithful to the commitments we made to you.
“We have begun to fulfil those commitments, and we have returned to account for the work already done and the tasks that remain. We have come to seek the renewal of your mandate, to continue the partnership we began and to finish the work you entrusted to us,” he declared.
The Vice President appealed to the people of Ekiti to replicate the mass support they gave to the President in the 2023 presidential poll, assuring them that the administration’s commitment to their welfare “extends to healthcare and electricity, two necessities upon which the dignity of everyday life depends.”
He cited the conversion of the former State Specialist Hospital in Ikole-Ekiti into a Federal Medical Centre to complement the Federal Teaching Hospital in Ido-Ekiti as part of efforts by the Tinubu administration to revamp healthcare.
On electricity, VP Shettima said, “We have also turned our attention to your electricity needs. Equipment has arrived for the substations at Ilupeju and Ijesa-Isu, alongside ongoing work on the Ikere switching station.
“We have approved additional electricity distribution lines and transferred regulatory authority over your intrastate electricity market to Ekiti State. We understand what these interventions mean to you.”
The Vice President lauded the transformation of Ekiti State into an electoral powerhouse, stating that the state “has become a litmus test for elections in Nigeria.
“You lead the nation in speaking with a voice that deserves respect and reflection. We have returned to acknowledge that voice and thank you for your warmth,” he added, justifying his observation with the recent re-election of Governor Biodun Oyebanji under the APC platform.
Senator Shettima delved into efforts by the Tinubu administration to build roads in the state, noting that work has proceeded on the Akure–Ikere–Ado-Ekiti road, while reconstruction has begun on the Itawure–Aramoko–Ado-Ekiti road.
“Other federal road interventions, from Aramoko and Ijero to Ifaki, Oye, Ikole and Omuo, are at different stages. Our duty is to see the work through. Every unfinished road is a responsibility awaiting fulfilment,” added.
