Nigerians react as Shettima praises Tinubu
The statement by the vice president has started generating reactions from Nigerians. Below are some of their comments:
Mushab said that Shettima's statement was contrary to the earlier claims of the presidency that Tinubu inherited problems from Buhari:
"This man lies far too often. You have repeatedly told Nigerians that u inherited a terrible economy, yet that didn't stop ur government 4rm spending limited public funds on aircraft & luxury cars. If the economy was truly in such bad shape, those expenditures are difficult to justify."

Olakunle Adisa commended the presidency:
"Oratory balanced with sound articulation loaded with the bullish nationalistic conviction and fervour expected of great leaders. Like PBAT is such an unapologetic believer and chief marketing officer of Nigeria, He sure has a worthy deputy in VP Kashim Shettima. This is the kind of speech that emboldens a people, and like a general rallying his troops. The strength of conviction and statesmanship of PBAT and the VP shall surely lead Nigeria to fulfilling its destined greantness God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria."
Labama Bagudu said that the VP was rising:
"Well said, VP Shettima! President Tinubu's focus on solutions over excuses is exactly what the country needs right now. Inspiring to see this level of responsibility. Keep pushing for progress."
Akuamaka challenged the presidency:
"Taking responsibility is not about speeches or defending predecessors. It is about measurable results that people can see in their daily lives. Citizens will judge any administration by outcomes such as the cost of living, security, jobs, and economic stability, not by political statements. Accountability is demonstrated through performance, not rhetoric."
