STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE

VP Shettima Departs Abuja For Dakar To Represent President Tinubu At Senegal's 65th Independence Anniversary

The Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, has departed Abuja for Dakar, Senegal, to represent President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the country's 65th Independence Day Anniversary celebrations.

Senegal celebrates its Independence Day on April 4 each year, commemorating its freedom from French colonial rule in 1960. The day is marked by national pride, with ceremonies, parades and cultural events.

The Vice President's attendance at the annual event is in honour of an invitation extended to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu by the Senegalese President, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, following the strong mutual relationship between Nigeria and Senegal.

The independence Day celebrations will be held at the Place de la Nation in Dakar, with President Faye playing host to Vice President Shettima and other distinguished guests from across Africa and beyond.

The Vice President is expected to return to Nigeria tomorrow after the one-day event.

Akpabio, the comedian, is now, ironically, the President of the biggest comedy club in the world.

If I were Comedian Akpabio, I'd rally my fellow comedians at the National Assembly for a very quiet and bloodless coup and take the reins.

Nothing will occur. They'll murmur and grumble for a while and soon revert to the status quo.

Desperate, unintelligent thieves in power.

Just try this sort of nonsense when we had "real" soldiers in the mold of IBB and Abacha in the system.

So who go come take care of the Nation now? Reckless traveling.
I even like this one that one that travelled to , nothing about that one is real. Ordinary medical visit he lied he's traveling for a working visit. What is there to lie about medical visit if not that they have refused to upgrade the health care systems while in turn looting the resources meant for that. And they would be paying helinues, Yarimo and co to operate robot on Nairaland to garnish their already batterered images
