“The president doesn’t subscribe to the idea of apportioning blame. The buck stops on his desk,” said Mr Shettima.
Vice President Kashim Shettima has urged Nigerians to endure more, arguing that nationals of other countries have gone through a more difficult patch and that President Bola Tinubu is on the right course, though there is currently widespread hunger.
Presidential media Ajuri Ngelale, in a statement on Wednesday, said Mr Shettima said this at the breaking of the Ramadan fast in the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The breaking of the Ramadan fast, organised by the office of President Bola Tinubu, was attended by members of the Federal Executive Council, Service Chiefs and Heads of government agencies.
Mr Shettima said posterity would remember Mr Tinubu as a decisive leader who was pivotal in guiding Nigeria towards prosperity and stability.
According to him, the unifying power of Ramadan transcends any divides among Nigerians.
The vice-president extolled the leadership qualities and sacrifices of Mr Tinubu, noting that leadership required sacrifice, tenacity of purpose and commitment.
Mr Shettima called on all ministers, service chiefs, and heads of government agencies to support the President’s endeavours.
“We have crossed the Rubicon and the nation is on the path to sustained growth. Some nations have gone through worse cases in the annals of their history than us.
“The president means well for the nation. He has a good heart for the nation and we have the moral imperative to support him in whatever way we can to salvage the ship of the state,” the vice-president explained.
He added, “The president doesn’t subscribe to the idea of apportioning blame. The buck stops on his desk and he has not shied away from taking those decisive actions.
“Be rest assured, in the fullness of time, posterity will be very kind to him.”
For his part, the attorney general of the federation and justice minister, Lateef Fagbemi, thanked the President for the kind Ramadan gesture.
“I pray that we all see the end of Ramadan. We thank the president for his generosity,” Mr Fagbemi said.
