The Vice President, Kashim Shettima, has distanced himself from what he described as “the wrong and dangerous inferences drawn by the public from his remarks” in which he was quoted as second-guessing the leadership competence of Muslims.
The vice president insisted that he emphasized the nation’s current political structure and made a case for the emergence of a Southern Christian and a Northern Muslim as the fairest balance to promote inclusivity at the centre. Part of the statement read: “During an interactive session with senators campaigning for the emergence of Senator Godswill Akpabio and Senator Barau Jibrin to lead the 10th Senate, yesterday, Vice President @KashimSM emphasized the nation’s current political structure and made a case for the emergence of a Southern Christian and a Northern Muslim as the fairest balance to promote inclusivity at the centre.
“The remarks have not only been taken out of context but also misinterpreted to suit an agenda that sabotages our collective bid for unity.
