The report that Vice President Kashim Shettima has been barred from having access to the Presidential Villa in Abuja has drawn reaction from the presidency.
The report making the rounds suggests that President Bola Tinubu and Shettima are not on good terms, and for that reason military personnel barricaded the entrance of the Villa to forestall the Vice President from gaining access.
It has however raised denial from the presidency through a statement the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Communications (Office of the Vice President), Stanley Nkwocha, released.
In the rejoinder, Nkwocha described the report as false and mischievous, “totally fabricated” and aimed at misleading the public into believing there was a rift between President Bola Tinubu and his deputy.”
The statement titled ‘Re: Mischievous Report On Access To The Presidential Villa By Vice President Kashim Shettima, GCON’, also read: “The latest in this string of disinformation is a report claiming that the Vice President has been refused entry to the Villa.
“This is a feeble attempt to traduce the person and office of His Excellency, Vice President Kashim Shettima, GCON. For the record, nothing of the sort ever happened.”
