Presidency denies rift between Tinubu, Shettima

The Presidency has dismissed allegations of a rift between President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima.

Stanley Nkwocha, Shettima’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Communications, emphasised that the Vice President is a “colossal member” of Tinubu’s administration and enjoys the “Total confidence and full support” of the president.

Nkwocha described claims of discord between the two leaders as false, stressing that the vice president is loyal and well-integrated into the administration.

In a statement marking Shettima’s 58th birthday, Nkwocha dismissed the rumours as “illogical conspiracy theories,” adding that they do not reflect the reality in Aso Rock.

The statement highlighted Shettima’s dedication, noting: “In a political landscape where loyalty is often tested, Vice President

“Shettima stands out as a beacon of dedication and commitment to his principal, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“His unwavering support and teamwork demonstrate a refreshing shift towards harmonious collaboration, setting a positive tone for their administration.”

Nkwocha further praised Shettima’s support for President Tinubu, stating: “VP Shettima’s recent praise for President Tinubu is heartfelt and genuine, describing him as a ‘good soul’ and a leader Nigerians can trust.”

He highlighted Shettima’s consistent loyalty and ability to connect with people from various backgrounds.

Addressing the reports of Shettima being sidelined, Nkwocha countered: “The illogical conspiracy theories of the VP being sidelined peddled in recent days are the direct opposite of what is happening here in Aso Rock.

“As President Tinubu’s administration continues to take shape, there’s no gainsaying that one key player who has been making waves is Vice President Shettima.”

Nkwocha concluded that Shettima has brought a “Unique blend of experience, expertise, and energy” to the administration, supporting Tinubu’s vision and initiatives for Nigeria.
