Vice President Kashim Shettima has taken a swipe at former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, saying the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate is no Abraham Lincoln.
Shettima made the remarks during the inauguration of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council at the Presidential
Villa, Abuja.
He said he would continue to address President Bola Tinubu
respectfully as the President of Nigeria, regardless of the name people choose
to call him.
“You can call him Bola. If you like, you can call him
Adekunle. But the truth is, he is the President and Commander-in-Chief of the
Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Atiku Abubakar, I will respect
him and call him former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
“I will not follow suit with the maverick Babachir Lawal and
call him Kachalla. But believe me, Atiku Abubakar, who has contested for the
presidency of this country for the eighth time, is no Abraham Lincoln. He’s
more of Odinga Odinga,” he said.
