Chief Dele Oyelude, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has warned against calls for the replacement of Vice-President Kashim Shettima.
Oyelude, who is the director-general of Tinubu-Shettima Ambassadors, described those making such demands as “enemies of the APC”.
Speaking on Sunday, he described Shettima as the “most loyal” vice-president in the history of Nigeria.
He said: “Vice President Kashim Shettima is the most loyal, calm and resourceful vice president in the history of Nigeria.
“Those calling for his replacement are enemies of the All Progressives Congress and the good governance of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
The APC chieftain said Shettima’s record of loyalty was evident in his time as governor of Borno and as a federal legislator.
He urged the presidency to sustain the collaboration between President Bola Tinubu and Shettima, adding that the partnership is an “intimidating force” that cannot be defeated by any political opponent in Africa.
His words: “Tinubu-Shettima combination is intimidating and a threat to any political opponent to defeat.
“Their experience as both former governor and senator is reflected in a smooth, progressive, and productive administration. Kashim Shettima should not be replaced. He is a perfect match for APC victory and Nigeria’s greatness.”
Oyelude also faulted suggestions that the APC should open up its 2027 presidential ticket, arguing that no political force can rival the Tinubu-Shettima ticket.
