Eze Slams Tinubu Over Shettima's Role: APC Chieftain Questions President's Treatment of Vice President
In a striking assertion, a notable APC member claims that the Tinubu administration has relegated Shettima's role exclusively to attending wedding and funeral ceremonies.
Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, a high-ranking member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has taken a swipe at President Bola Tinubu, claiming his treatment of Vice President Kashim Shettima is questionable.
Eze raised eyebrows, wondering why a seasoned politician like Shettima has been reduced to merely attending weddings and funerals, a role typically encompassing an "agent of government."
In a candid statement, the former National Publicity Secretary of the New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP) expressed his dismay, stating it's both sad and unacceptable.
He argued against the practice of turning the esteemed Vice Presidential office into a political pawn for such ceremonial engagements.
Eze pointed out, "Though I'm not a fan of Vice President Kashim Shettima, I must express my disappointment as a concerned Nigerian, witnessing a respected politician being mistreated in this administration, reduced to nothing more than an adjunct for attending weddings and funerals."
He further added that for the two years Shettima has served as Vice President, Tinubu has failed to delegate duties during his overseas trips, deeming it unconstitutional and inexcusable.
Eze cautioned that the Office of the Vice President is a symbol of respect and power, it should not be undermined in political maneuvering.
