Vice President Kashim Shettima has said the end to insecurity in Nigeria is in sight, as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is working hard to ensure that peace is sustained in all parts of the country.

He prayed for more unity, progress and peaceful coexistence under the Tinubu administration, assuring that the President is doing all he can to secure lives and properties across the nation.

Senator Shettima stated this on Tuesday in Gusau, the Zamfara State capital, when he formally received the state governor, Dauda Lawal, and his supporters into the All Progressives Congress (APC) fold on behalf of President Tinubu.

“We pray for more unity and progress under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu because as our leader is working very hard to ensure the safety of lives and property across Nigeria,” he said.

VP Shettima maintained that the security challenges in Zamfara State and other troubled states would be addressed, saying the coming of the Governor Dauda Lawal into APC will help achieve that.

The Vice President said opposition parties like the ADC, PDP and other parties will not thrive in Zamfara State because all major politicians of in the state are knitted together.

He expressed full support for the Governor, applauding the support by the people of the state for their governor and the APC.

Earlier, Deputy Senate President, Senator Jibrin Barau, who represented the Senate President, said members of the National Assembly on the platform of APC were in total support of Governor Lawal’s defection to the party.

“The Governor will now be working together with other governors to help address the problems of the state and further enhance development,” he said

Senator Barau stressed that security challenges are not peculiar to Zamfara or Nigeria, adding that the problem is surmountable.
