From Lateef Taiwo
President of the 9th Senate, Senator Ahmad Lawan, lauds Nigeria’s Vice President, Kashim Shettima, for his commitment to fostering democratic ideals.
Lawan, in a birthday message he personally signed to Shettima on the occasion of his 57th birthday celebration, eulogises the Vice President as a patriot, philanthropist and an exceptional leader.
According to him, Shettima’s contribution to the sustenance of democracy in Nigeria, marks him out to be celebrated for his genuine commitment to national growth and development.
The former Senate President commends the Vice President for raising leaders within and outside the private and public sectors, who all share his vision for a greater Nigeria.
Lawan’s message reads, “Your Excellency, I rejoice and celebrate with you as you mark another year, today. Indeed, you are a shining example of a true patriot committed to fostering democratic ideals.
“Your forthrightness and generosity sets you apart from amongst your peers as a fine gentleman, philanthropist and an exceptional leader.
“There is no gainsaying the fact that your previous service records and accomplishments from your time as Governor of Borno State between 2011 and 2019; and Parliamentarian from 2019 to 2023, bestows you with the rare privilege and honour of being one of the blazing stars of the North East region. This is not to mention your mentorship which has raised some of the finest leaders – within and outside the public and private sectors – who share your genuine passion, commitment and vision for national growth and development.
“As an astute politician, your contribution to the sustenance of democracy has earned you your rightful place in the annals of our dear fatherland. Our nation is by far blessed to have you as its Vice President, particularly at this time.
“As you celebrate your 57th birthday, may Almighty Allah (SWT) grant you wisdom and courage to carry out the responsibilities, as well as fulfill the obligations of your office to the benefit of our dear country and Nigerians. Above all, may His mercy, grace and protection be upon you and your family, now and always.
“Your Excellency, I wish you many prosperous years ahead in good health of mind and body.”
Investigations by Nigerian Concord Newspaper reveal that the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers Council, Mr. Pius Akutah, has allegedly misappropriated public funds for a lavish lifestyle.
According to our findings, within months of assuming office, Akutah allegedly purchased a bulletproof SUV valued at approximately N850 million. In addition, he is reported to have acquired over twenty exotic SUVs for use as a convoy.
Akutah is also said to have acquired multiple high-value properties, including three in Abuja’s Maitama and Asokoro districts worth over N2 billion, and two in Lagos’ Banana Island valued at N1.8 billion. These acquisitions appear far beyond the scope of his official salary and allowances.
Further investigation suggests that Akutah may be using public funds to support political ambitions, including allegedly grooming militants across 23 local government areas in Benue State for a potential 2027 gubernatorial bid.
Staff of the Shippers Council reportedly claim that Akutah frequently accesses the council’s treasury without proper authorization. Some insiders have indicated that a petition will soon be filed with the EFCC, ICPC, and the Presidency to report his alleged misconduct.
