The presidency has refuted claims that Vice President Kashim Shettima is being sidelined in President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

The claims were dismissed in an opinion article written by Stanley Nkwocha, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Communications in the Office of the Vice President, to commemorate Shettima’s 58th birthday.

Nkwocha described the allegations as “ludicrous conspiracy theories” and stressed that President Tinubu and Vice President Shettima have a strong working relationship.

According to the presidential aide, “In the history of Nigeria’s Presidency, no Vice President has enjoyed the total confidence and full support of his principal like Shettima.”

The media aide stressed that Shettima’s loyalty to President Tinubu is “absolute and unalloyed,” adding that his principal’s level of dedication sets a positive tone for the Tinubu administration.

Contrary to rumors of being sidelined, Nkwocha asserted that Vice President Shettima has been “making waves” since assuming office.

Quoting Nkwocha, “As we celebrate his 58th birthday, we honour a true servant-leader who has made a profound impact on Nigeria. His legacy continues to inspire generations to come, and his influence has touched countless lives. Shettima’s leadership is a shining example for Nigerians and leaders worldwide, demonstrating that effective leadership is not just about position or power but about serving others with humility, compassion, and vision.

“For those peddling ludicrous conspiracy theories of a fictional rift in the presidency which, according to the schemers, has led to Senator Shettima being sidelined and stripped of his roles as Vice President, here is also an opportunity to know the facts. In the history of Nigeria’s Presidency, no Vice President has enjoyed the total confidence and full support of his principal like Shettima. In return, his loyalty to his boss, President Tinubu, as attested by well-meaning Nigerians who have been keeping tab with the goings-on in the presidency, is absolute and unalloyed.

“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.

“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.”
