Nigeria’s Vice President, Kashim Shettima, has voiced his frustration over what he describes as a dangerous and deliberate sidelining of his role, alleging that President Bola Tinubu’s son has been carrying out many of his official duties.
“I have never truly felt like the Vice President of Nigeria. While I should be handling key responsibilities, Tinubu’s son has taken over my work,” Shettima reportedly stated.
Expressing concerns over the marginalization of the North, Shettima lamented that his position as the country’s second-in-command has been systematically undermined and stripped of authority.
“I have, on several occasions, considered resigning as Vice President so the world can see Tinubu for who he truly is. Placing me in this position merely to hold the North in place while your son carries out my duties is nothing short of a mockery,” he added.
