Phrank Shaibu, an aide to Atiku Abubakar on communications,
says the behaviour of Vice-President Kashim Shettima is unbefitting of someone
who holds public office.
Shaibu spoke in reaction to a statement credited to Shettima
on Wednesday following the verdict that affirmed the victory of President Bola
Tinubu in the February 25 election.
The vice-president had said he would retire Abubakar,
candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the election, to rearing
goats and chickens.
“For the sake of the reading public, this response becomes
very important,” Shaibu said.
“He loves to rack
lacklustre jokes at every given opportunity. Last year, he said Vice-President
Osinbajo should have been an ice cream man instead of a politician. Later on,
he said Nigeria needed a leader like Sani Abacha.
“His behaviour is certainly unbefitting for a man who
currently holds the exalted office of vice-president, even if temporarily.
“His lack of sophistication is eroding the elegance of the
Office of the Vice-President.
“Men of honour have held that position in the past and
Shettima should learn from the examples they led in public decency.
“In any case, he would do well by attending a finishing
school on Atiku’s scholarship and learn how to behave like a polished
statesman.”
The former vice-president’s aide said Shettima did not leave
a good legacy as governor of Borno state.
“During his tenure as governor between 2011 and 2019, Borno
state was taken over by terrorists completely,” he said.
Shaibu alleged that as governor, Shettima ignored a security
report which led to the abduction of the schoolgirls from Chibok LGA of the
state.
