Vice President Kashim Shettima has called on the people of Plateau, irrespective of their political affiliations, religious persuasions, tribal identities or sectional backgrounds to unite.

Shettima spoke during the wedding reception of Nanbam Mutfwang, daughter of Gov. Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau.

He said the wedding, which brings together the North and the South, symbolizes that what binds Nigerians together far outweighs whatever seeks to divide the nation.

“We need to build bridges; we need to embrace one another. Challenges bring forth the character of leaders,”he said

The vice president noted that while Plateau faces challenges, they are not insurmountable, especially with the right calibre of leadership.
