Tinubu’s Administration Has Rendered Shettima Ceremonial Figure – APC Leader

President Bola Tinubu’s handling of Vice President Kashim Shettima has been questioned by Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, a leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He questioned why a well-known politician had been reduced to a government agent just to attend ceremonial marriages and funerals.
The former national publicity secretary for the now-defunct New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP) bemoaned in a statement that the state of affairs was not only depressing but also intolerable.

He questioned why, anytime he leaves Nigeria’s borders, Tinubu is unable to transfer power to Vice President Kashim Shetimma.

The vice president is a high-ranking position that shouldn’t be compromised for political reasons, he said.
As a concerned Nigerian, Eze said, “As much as I do not support Vice President Kashim Shettima, I must state that I am not happy with the way and manner such a highly profiled politician is being treated by this administration and turning such a highly respected politician into an agent of government solely for attending wedding and burial ceremonies.” This is regrettable, terrible, and unacceptable.

Despite his lack of confidence to express his frustration, the fact remains that during his two years as the nation’s vice president and the numerous times President Tinubu has traveled abroad, Mr. President has not felt it was appropriate or necessary to transfer power to the vice president.

In addition to being abhorrent, this act violates both the letter and the spirit of this nation’s Constitution.
