*STATE HOUSE PRESS STATEMENT*

*RE: MISCHIEVOUS REPORT ON ACCESS TO THE PRESIDENTIAL VILLA BY VICE PRESIDENT KASHIM SHETTIMA, GCON*

In recent times, there has been deliberate and well-planned orchestration of falsehood against the Vice President's person and office in many multidimensional forms. These mischievous and totally fabricated reports are all in a bid to cause confusion and insinuate total clash in the Presidency. These reports seek to mislead the public into believing there’s discord at the highest levels of government.

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.

The recent publication by some obscure blogs alleging that armed military units have barricaded the Vice President from accessing the Presidential Villa is not only the wildest expression of wishful thinking but a clear indication that the purveyors of these tales have exhausted both ink and imagination. It is a story so far removed from reality that it can only be entertained by those unfamiliar with the inner workings of the Nigerian government.

Earlier this week, the Presidency dismissed similar fake news regarding responsibility for the circulation of campaign posters bearing the images of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR. These stories reflect a desperate attempt to undermine the President and his Deputy's fidelity to the rule of law and our constitution. Let it be known that those pushing these falsehoods do so in vain.

It 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. 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.

The Vice President remains focused on his duties and on ing the President in achieving the aspirations of Nigerians. He does not have the luxury of time for distractions, particularly those born of the imagination of individuals intent on creating smoke where there is no fire. He’s not and will never partake in their media circus. It is a futile pursuit, even by the standards of the morally indifferent.

We commend Nigerians across all divides who continue to express goodwill towards this istration and who have taken it upon themselves to fight the spread of fake news. Your trust and are deeply appreciated. The covenant between this government and the citizens of Nigeria was made possible through a legitimate and constitutional process. No amount of falsehood or manufactured tension can shake the foundation of that democratic mandate. Not under the watch of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.

We encourage the public to disregard such malicious publications and the media to continue seeking information from credible sources and to approach sensational claims with the caution they deserve. This we owe ourselves collectively as a nation.

In a shocking display of power imbalance, Femi Gbajabiamila—an unelected government official—was allowed to inaugurate the census committee, while the duly elected Vice President was disgracefully barred from Aso Rock.

He was told to handle security before he can be allowed into Aso villa 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣

I honestly don't know how this information benefits the average Nigerian.

Barred, disbarred or unbarred, who cares about that?

Most ethnic bigoted presidency ever in Nigeria. Witch hunting presidency. Shettima is no Yaribawa, so how could he belong in Aso Rock?

Since I started checking monikers before reading comments here I have regained my sanity on this platform. There are many people I no longer read their comments, I just jump them and even if they have 5000 Likes

That's why Seun needs to introduce BLOCK button, there are some monikers here that reading their frequent round the clock posts can make one to run mad

Seyi is the real VP.

Know that and know peace.
