Shettima not sidelined by Tinubu – Presidency debunks reports of rift in Aso Rock


The Presidency on Monday dismissed the insinuations of a rift between President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima.

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

Nkwocha said reports of the alleged rift were false, stressing that the Vice President is loyal.

In a statement he issued to mark the Vice President’s 58th birthday, Nkwocha said claims of the Vice President being sidelined in Tinubu’s administration were “illogical conspiracy theories”.

Parts of the statement read: “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 @officialABAT. His unwavering support and teamwork demonstrate a refreshing shift towards harmonious collaboration, setting a positive tone for their administration.

“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 has consistently demonstrated his loyalty through his words and actions, showcasing a remarkable ability to connect with people from all walks of life.

“Unlike previous presidencies which were mired in protracted public disagreements between vice presidents and their bosses, VP Shettima’s approach is a welcome change. He has proven himself to be a true partner to President Tinubu, working tirelessly to support his initiatives and vision for Nigeria.

“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. Since assuming office, Shettima has brought a unique blend of experience, expertise, and energy to the table in support of the Renewed Hope Administration.”
