Wednesday, May 20, 2026 - Vice President Kashim Shettima has opened up on how some persons tried to pitch him against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu barely three months after coming into power.
Speaking at the event of former Head of State, General
Yakubu Gowon, Shettima said the individuals, whom he refused to name but said
are from Borno State, told Tinubu that he was plotting to kill him and take
over power.
“The president said their story did not add up. He said when
you gave me those clothes, I was an aspirant. I would not have been the
candidate, neither were you going to be Vice presidential candidate,” he said.
“Some people told him after election that I was planning to
use the clothes to kill him and take over. However, Tinubu wore the clothes
after that because he is not fetish.”
Shettima advised Nigerians to be better united as their
brother’s keeper, not as merchants of divisions.
