The Presidency has refuted reports linking a statement from Vice President Kashim Shettima at a book launch in Abuja to recent developments in Rivers State involving Governor Siminalayi Fubara and President Bola Tinubu.
The Vice President had referenced a historical episode during the GEJ government when there were alleged moves to remove him as Governor of Borno State amid intense Boko Haram insurgency.
Reacting via a press statement on Friday, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Communications (Office of the Vice President), Stanley Nkwocha, described the media interpretations as a “gross misrepresentation” and “reckless endangerment of national cohesion.”
