Sharing the video, Dada wrote, “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu presents certificate to Vice President Kashim Shettima as his running mate in 2027 election.”
Dada also dismissed recent speculation about Shettima’s position in the administration, insisting there had never been any uncertainty about the vice president’s status.
“At no point was the Vice President’s place in this administration under any doubt. People just create scenarios in their head and start cooking,” he said.
