No Rift Between Tinubu, Shettima, VP Not Sidelined - Stanley Nkwocha by ijustdey: 8:38pm On Sep 02
The Presidency on Monday denied allegations of a rift between President Bola 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, asserting 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," asserting that they do not reflect the realities in Aso Rock.

The statement highlighted Shettima’s dedication, noting that "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 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.

The only reason why Tinubu picked Shettima as his VP was to re-enact the muslim-muslim ticket of his mentor Abiola who also picked a VP from Borno state. Shettima in his own capacity is too dull for that position.

I don't know why people of South East extraction always see northerners as dull people. Mind you Shettima is a very sound and articulated person. Infact, very brilliant and successful than you.

If you have experience in the phenomenon called Nigeria, you would understand that once there is a denial about something, there is a big element of truth in it.

It is clear to see that Shetima is being sidelined like many other VPs before him.

Somehow we see Wike even more than Shetima.

As a matter of fact we even see Wike more than Tinubu.

As long as they are debunking it, that means there is an ongoing rift in Aso Rock.

Even if he's truly sidelined, it's absolutely normal. In fact, that's how it should be. The VP must always stay in the shadows. The president is and must remain the star of the administration.

Constitutionally, VPs don't have a role. It is what the president tell him to do that he would do. The president defines what the VP's role is. It's practically a useless political position, except, of course, the fact that it's a breath away from the presidency. But then again, no VP has successfully gone on to become president, so politically, it's not necessarily advantageous.

Edit: I should note that Goodluck Jonathan did become president after Yaradua passed away in office. However, every other VP that has tried to attain that feat by contesting directly for it has always been hindered by powers that be. Take Atiku and Osibanjo.

Are you daft or are your parents siblings? Shettima is one of the most intelligent and articulate people from the North. I am sure you are an Obidient - a supporter of a man who cannot articulate himself without resorting to “and everything” cannot recognize intelligence.
