Vice President Kashim Shettima has appealed to his countrymen, associates and many well-wishers across the country not to place any congratulatory advertisements on his 58th birthday.
The call was made in a statement issued by Stanley Nkwocha, Special Assistant to the President on Media and Communications (Office of the Vice President), on Thursday in Abuja.
