The Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, has called for effective collaboration and harmony with the leadership of the 10th National Assembly to address all issues confronting the country.
He said without effective collaboration it would be difficult for Nigeria to surmount her economic and political problems.
The Vice President stated this while speaking during the two-day retreat for the leadership of the Assembly, organised by the National Institute of Legislative and Democratic Studies, in collaboration with Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftunh e. V, held at Ikot Ekpene Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State on Friday.
He stated, “Governance is a collective responsibility and not a personal endeavour. Our most significant achievement will be attained through cooperation and harmony. This is what we take from you because we are brothers and sisters in pursuit of a country that has all of us.
He warned against division, saying, “The 10th National Assembly is unquestionably the richest we have had so far. You (National Assembly) have the President and Vice President who were once part of you and recognise the sacrifices you make.
