As Vice President Kashim Shettima makes strategic actions that seem to be upending the foundations of the Tinubu-led administration, a silent storm is building in Nigeria’s highest echelons of power. According to political insiders, Aso Rock is in chaos as a result of Shettima’s recent political liaisons with influential people like:

Goodluck Jonathan, the former president
Bukola Saraki, a former Senate President
Sim Fubara, the governor of Rivers State;
Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna

Insiders hint at a planned and intentional political realignment that could pave the way for Shettima to emerge in 2027 under a new political alliance.

Shettima’s words:

Vice President Shettima made a daring statement recalling a historic political impasse with former President Goodluck Jonathan when he was the governor of Borno State.

He stated: “President Jonathan attempted to remove me from office by declaring a State of Emergency in Borno. But the move was halted when the then Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Aminu Tambuwal, and the Attorney-General of the Federation, Mohammed Bello Adoke (SAN), rightly pointed out that the 1999 Constitution does not grant a President the power to remove even a councillor, not to mention a sitting governor.”

Despite its historical context, observers now see this remark as a premeditated display of independence and a sly barb at the current leadership.

Shettima’s Quiet Moves in the Direction of the ADC?

Given the rumors of a potential shift toward the African Democratic Congress (ADC), political analysts characterize Shettima’s actions as “surgical and silent but potent.” It is believed that his recent meetings with influential politicians who are no longer involved in the APC establishment are early indications of a change in strategy or allegiance.

Is Shettima at the center of a new Northern-led political bloc that could emerge?

What Tinubu Should Know About This:

The Tinubu camp is becoming uneasy about Shettima’s increasing intimacy with alleged opposition leaders. A presidency that is already struggling with regional discontent, economic strains, and insecurity may now have to cope with internal division at the highest level.

Political undercurrents are starting to emerge from the Niger Delta to the Northeast, and if left unchecked, they could turn into a massive wave of power changes before the general elections in 2027.
