Vice President Kashim Shettima has shared some lessons about true leadership, saying true leaders achieve success through humility and foresight instead of an insatiable pursuit of power.

Senator Shettima who made the observation in close reference to the character of Ekiti State Governor, Abiodun Oyebanji, praised his sterling leadership qualities and impact on the state’s development.

Speaking on Saturday when he represented President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at a traditional marriage ceremony in Ibadan, Oyo State, the Vice President extolled Governor Oyebanji’s ability to unite his predecessors, noting that “he was able to unite four past governors under the same canopy; that goes to show a lot about his personality”

The Vice President, who landed at Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, was welcomed by Deputy Governor of the state, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo; Deputy Senate President Barau Jibril; and former Deputy Governor of Kano State, Nasir Yusuf Gawuna, among other dignitaries.
