These mischievous and fabricated reports are all in a bid to cause confusion and insinuate a total clash in the Presidency. These reports seek to mislead the public into believing there\u2019s discord at the highest levels of government.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe 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\u201d he added.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Recall that earlier this week, the Presidency also disowned the circulation of campaign posters bearing the images of President Bola Tinubu. It explained that these moves reflect a desperate attempt to undermine the President and his Deputy&#8217;s fidelity to the rule of law and the constitution.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIt is understandable, though regrettable, that the mischief-makers continue to underestimate the strength of the bond and goodwill between the President and the Vice President.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, their questionable sources or habitual reliance on misinformation have once again led them astray. These fairy tales they publish serve no purpose beyond mischief and distraction,&#8221; it added.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The statement pointed out that the number two citizen remains focused on his duties and on supporting the President in achieving the aspirations of Nigerians. He said that he does not have the luxury of time for distractions, particularly those born of the imagination of individuals\u2019 intent on creating smoke where there is no fire.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Vice President commended Nigerians across all divides that have continue to express goodwill towards the administration and who have taken it upon themselves to fight the spread of fake news.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">While appreciating their support, he reiterated that the covenant between this government and the citizens of Nigeria was made possible through a legitimate and constitutional process. He maintained that no amount of falsehood or manufactured tension can shake the foundation of that democratic mandate.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Myke Agunwa Vice President Kashim Shettima has dismissed the rumour peddled in some section of the media that he has been barricaded by the military from accessing the Presidential&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":117613,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-117612","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
