Vice President Kashim Shettima on Thursday described former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, as a political force whose relevance cannot be denied.According to the former Borno State Governor, “You can hate him, you can love him, but you can't ignore him.”Shettima made the remark at the public presentation of OPL 245: Inside Story of the $1.3bn Nigeria Oil Block, a book written by former Attorney General of the Federation, Mohammed Bello Adoke .
”Similar instances have intensified rumours that Tinubu may drop Shettima from the 2027 ticket in favour of another northern figure. This has led some observers to speculate that Shettima could align with a growing opposition coalition that includes prominent northern politicians—among them El-Rufai, who plays a part in the formation of the opposition coalition under the African Democratic Congress platform.
