President Tinubu and VP Shettima
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Director General of Tinubu-Shettima Ambassadors, Prince Dele Oyelude, yesterday, said the opposition are not comfortable with President Bola Tinubu’s confirmation of Vice-President Kashim Shettima’s loyalty.
This came amidst replacement rumour of Shettima as Oyelude posited that the confirmation of Shettima’s loyalty is an headache to the opposition and coalition political parties in Nigeria.
In a statement, Oyelude stated that the birthday felicitation message released by the presidency has shattered the ‘crumbling house’ of the opposition PDP and coalition ADC clandestinely pushing for the replacement of the workaholic Vice President Kashim Shettima.
President Tinubu, in his official press release, celebrated Shettima on his birthday and appreciated his loyalty and vibrancy, saying, “I deeply appreciate your vibrancy, loyalty, partnership, and support as my deputy. In choosing you then as my partner, I selected competence and other qualities that Nigeria could depend on.”
Oyelude commended Tinubu affirmation of Shettima’s loyalty and dedication to the success of the progressive administration and advised both the opposition and coalition political parties to embrace good governance, reformative policies and productive renewed hope agenda of the APC.
He posited that the combination will further collapse the cracking wall and linking roof of the opposition parties in Nigeria.
A statement released by the APC Chieftain, Oyelude reads “The affirmation of Shettima’s loyalty by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to celebrate his VP’s 59th birthday is a win for democracy and the APC. Though, a threat and headache to the opposition and coalition political parties in Nigeria.
“I am sure by now the opposition parties and their leaders manufacturing lies to mislead the public will be thrown into further confusion and disarray. APC cannot help them since they refuse to help themselves. They have more interest in APC than their crumbling political parties.
“President Bola Ahmed and Vice President Kashim Shettima are best combinations so far in the history of Nigeria. They are both experience as former Governors and former Senators. Their individual experience is manifesting in their approach in turning Nigeria misfortunes to fortunes,” Oyelude said. (Saturday Sun)
