VP Shettima turns down birthday ads, clocks 58 September 2
Vice-President Kashim Shettima has appealed to his fellow compatriots, associates and well-wishers not to place congratulatory adverts on his 58th birthday.
He made the appeal in a statement on Thursday.
The vice-president will clock 58 on September 2.
Mr Shettima, therefore, implored friends and associates who may wish to place goodwill messages as advertisements to kindly donate the funds to charity organisations and vulnerable citizens instead.
“As this auspicious moment draws closer, V-P Shettima fervently implores family members, friends and associates who may wish to place goodwill messages as advertisements to kindly donate the funds to charity organisations and vulnerable citizens instead.
“This aligns with the commitment of the Renewed Hope Administration of President Bola Tinubu to address issues of development and economic growth, as well as improving the living conditions of Nigerians.
“The vice president remains ever grateful for the goodwill he enjoys from Nigerians and the best wishes a great number of his well-wishers have demonstrated toward him over the years,” said the statement.
