According to a Saturday statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Communications, Stanley Nkwocha, the decision stems from a desire to keep the public focus directed squarely on national governance rather than a personal milestone.

The Vice President explicitly asked well-wishers to avoid events, gatherings, and media goodwill messages across television, radio, print, and digital spaces. Instead of funding celebrations or public advertisements, Shettima encouraged supporters to channel those resources into prayers for Nigeria and President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

“To ensure absolute propriety, I respectfully appeal that there should be no public birthday celebrations, congratulatory gatherings or goodwill advertorials across print, broadcast and digital media platforms,” Shettima stated.

Emphasizing a mindset of reflection and devotion to national progress over personal pageantry, the statement noted that the milestone should serve as a renewed commitment to public service.

Footage from the encounter depicts the musician firmly challenging the officers regarding the legal grounds of the detention attempt, steadfastly refusing to exit the premises with them. According to accounts from the scene, law enforcement personnel pressed the rapper on why he was unwilling to cooperate, noting that a prior formal invitation had been extended to him, and explicitly questioned whether he was actively obstructing an arrest.

“Invitation was sent to you, it’s okay. What I want to ask you now, are you resisting an arrest? If you’re not resisting an arrest, tell me why you are not following the police?” an officer asked during the altercation.

In response, Odumodublvck countered that the underlying legal matters had already been thoroughly addressed and resolved through his designated legal counsel. He openly disputed the legitimacy and authority of the officers to whisk him away from the location, arguing that the apprehension lacked any lawful justification.

“You don’t have any jurisdiction, that’s what you want to do. Don’t tell me to wait. My lawyers came to your office, I am not resisting arrest, it was attended to. It is illegal to take me from here, my brother. You’re telling me not to tweet, not to speak,” the rapper asserted.
