BREAKING: Shettima Slams Datti Baba-Ahmed for Suggesting Tinubu ‘Tried’ in Retaining Him as VP.
Vice President Kashim Shettima has fired back at Labour Party’s 2023 vice-presidential candidate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, over comments suggesting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had “tried” by retaining Shettima as Vice President.
Baba-Ahmed made the controversial remarks during a live appearance on Arise Television’s Prime Time programme on Thursday.
He implied that President Tinubu had gone out of his way to keep Shettima as vice president, adding that what he knew about Shettima could not be disclosed publicly.
“On Shettima, I don’t blame Tinubu. Because whoever knows what Shettima did and does, will not allow him last this long,” Baba-Ahmed said.
“The airwaves cannot carry it. And I know I’m speaking on TV. I know Tinubu has tried for keeping Shettima this long. Even the consideration that he should be dropped, I think Tinubu has tried. It is a pregnant statement. I wish I could say more. What people do for power is unbelievable.”
Reacting on Friday, Shettima’s office issued a statement through his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Communications, Stanley Nkwocha, describing Datti’s comments as “frustrated” and “baseless.”
“Baba-Ahmed expressed his frustrations on why the President had yet to remove the Vice President from office for not a single reason or offence he evidently linked him with, but merely to soothe his ego and wish. Well, the bad news for him is that his frustration is just beginning.”
Nkwocha accused Baba-Ahmed of making “unprovoked attacks” against Shettima while offering no evidence to justify his claims.
