The Labour Party’s vice-presidential candidate in 2003 election, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, says President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has “tried” for keeping Vice-President Kashim Shettima for long.
Baba-Ahmed stated this while speaking on Arise TV’s Prime Time on Thursday night.
According to Baba-Ahmed, what he knows about Shettima cannot be uttered in a national television.
His comments come amid speculation that Tinubu will not keep Shettima as his running mate during the 2027 general elections.
“On Shettima, I don’t blame Tinubu. Because whoever knowns 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. And I wish I could say more more.
“What people do for power is unbelievable”.
Baba-Ahmed’s comments formed part of a broader critique of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s current administration.
