Author:The Northern Elders Forum has cautioned Vice President Kashim Shettima against the “imposition” of the senate president on the national assembly.

Baba-Ahmed said Shetimma’s comments “deepens the worrying position of religious faith as a fault line in our politics today and denigrates the place of an important value such as faith in the conduct of elected leaders whether they are Muslims or Christians”.

The NEF said the vice president has done himself, his faith and his standing a “great injury with his comments” and that he should find appropriate opportunities to assure Nigerians that the Tinubu administration will “respect sensitive values that define us as Nigerians”.
