In a recent statement, Vice President Kashim Shettima has come out in strong defense of President Bola Tinubu’s intentions and priorities while in office.
Shettima asserted that contrary to popular belief, Tinubu is not using his position as the President of Nigeria to amass personal wealth or engage in any form of corruption.
Shettima emphasized that Tinubu’s sole focus is on making a positive and lasting impact on the nation and its people.
He pointed out that the President’s residence in Bourdillon, Lagos, is not a reflection of his wealth or greed, but rather a symbol of his humble beginnings and the long journey he has undertaken to reach this position of leadership.
Furthermore, Shettima made a bold claim that his own residence in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State, is far superior to Tinubu’s Bourdillon house.
This statement serves to highlight the fact that the President and Vice President are not driven by the desire for material possessions or “primitive capital accumulation,” as Shettima put it.
The Vice President’s impassioned defense of Tinubu’s intentions comes at a time when the new administration is facing numerous challenges, both economic and social.
By emphasizing the President’s commitment to serving the nation and its people, Shettima aims to reassure the public that their trust in Tinubu’s leadership is well-placed and that the government is focused on delivering positive change for all Nigerians.
