Vice-President Kashim Shettima has turned 60, asking Nigerians to focus on prayers rather than gifts, celebrations, or advertisements. In a post on his official X handle, Shettima urged people to redirect funds toward charities and those in need across the country. His message came as colleagues and supporters, including Chief Emmanuel Ironbar, celebrated the occasion with public recognition. Ironbar, Chief of Staff to the Governor of Cross River State, joined millions of Nigerians in honoring Shettima’s contributions. The celebration highlighted both personal and public acknowledgment of Shettima’s service. While some marked the day with public gestures, Shettima emphasized humility and community over personal recognition.
