Garba Shehu, former Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, has reaffirmed his unwavering loyalty to his former principal while firmly dismissing any possibility of returning to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s camp.
Shehu made these declarations during an appearance on TVC News’ Beyond The Headlines programme on Thursday.
Emphasising his commitment to ethical consistency, Shehu stated, “A man should serve only one master at a time. You can’t serve two masters simultaneously without deceiving either yourself or them.”
He explained that his continued support for Buhari stems from the trust and confidence the former president placed in him during their time in office.
Unlike some former aides who moved on to other ventures, Garba Shehu chooses to occasionally speak on Buhari’s behalf while being careful not to create the impression of political interference.
The seasoned media professional stressed that his current engagements with Buhari are measured and issue-specific, acknowledging President Bola Tinubu as Nigeria’s sole leader.
“We don’t want to meddle in issues that would suggest there are two presidents in the country,” Shehu noted, underscoring his respect for the current administration.
When questioned about potential collaborations with other political figures like Atiku Abubakar, Garba Shehu was unequivocal in his refusal, framing his stance as a matter of personal integrity.
