Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has congratulated Vice President Kashim Shettima on his 58th birthday, describing him as a reliable, competent, loyal and trusted partner to President Bola Tinubu in the Renewed Hope agenda.

The governor also described Shettima as a visionary and passionate leader who has distinguished himself in private and public office.

Sanwo-Olu, in a congratulatory message issued on Monday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Gboyega Akosile, said Shettima is a committed and selfless public servant whose vision aligns well with that of President Tinubu on how to take Nigeria out of the current state to a place of economic stability, social development and political stability.

According to the governor, Shettima has, over the years, displayed pragmatic leadership in different areas at the state and national levels, in the private and public sectors.

He said: “On behalf of my family, the government, and the entire people of Lagos State, as well as leaders and members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), I congratulate Vice President Kashim Shettima on his 58th birthday.

“On this occasion of his 58th birthday, I wish Vice President Kashim Shettima good health and wisdom as he continues to render more service to our dear country, Nigeria."
