Shettima Blockade? A Big Fat Lie, Says Presidency

Hold up! Did you hear about the alleged drama at Aso Rock? Word on the street was that VP Kashim Shettima was barred from entering the Presidential Villa. But the Presidency is like, “Nah, that’s a big fat lie!” They’re calling these reports mischievous and cooked up to stir trouble between President Tinubu and VP Shettima.

Why the Fuss?

According to Stanley Nkwocha, President Tinubu’s Spokesman in the Vice President’s office, someone is deliberately trying to tarnish the Vice President’s image. “These reports seek to mislead the public into believing there’s discord at the highest levels of government,” Nkwocha stated. Basically, some people are trying to cause wahala where there is none!

Digging Deeper: The Allegations

The specific rumor involved claims that armed military units had barricaded the Vice President from accessing the Villa. The Presidency insists this is pure fantasy, far removed from the reality of how the Nigerian government operates. It seems some bloggers have run out of legit stories and are now making up tales.

Fake News Alert!

This isn’t the first time the Presidency has had to swat down fake news. Recently, they also dismissed false reports about campaign posters bearing images of President Tinubu. The message is clear: someone is actively trying to undermine the President and his Deputy’s commitment to the rule of law.

The Bond Remains Strong

The Presidency wants everyone to know that the bond between President Tinubu and Vice President Shettima is solid. They believe these “mischief-makers” are underestimating the strength of their relationship. The Vice President is focused on supporting the President and delivering on the promises made to Nigerians. He ain’t got time for distractions!

A Call to the Public

The Presidency is urging Nigerians to ignore these malicious publications and for the media to verify information from credible sources. They appreciate the public’s support in fighting the spread of fake news. The democratic mandate given to this government through a legitimate process cannot be shaken by falsehoods or manufactured tension.
