The Vice President-elect, Kashim Shettima has come out to approve the leadership zoning plan of the All Progressives Congress for the 10th National Assembly.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the choice of Godswill Akpabio and Jibrin Barau for President and Deputy President of the Senate, respectively, will definitely ensure stability in Nigeria.

He added that politics shouldn’t be a means of disuniting our people, it should rather be a means of uniting us.

His words, “The President-elect and the Vice President-elect are both Muslims. It is in the interest of the stability and unity of this country that the next position be given to the Christian faith. If not, it would further validate the alleged Islamisation agenda of the APC-led administration.

“It would be perceived as a gratuitous insult to our Christian brothers and sisters who stuck out their necks to support us. That was why I was quite pleased with the choice of the party leadership that my uncommon brother and leader, in the person of Senator Godswill Akpabio, should be the number three citizen of this country.

“The stability of this nation is much more important than whatever political considerations we may think of. We need to have a stable and united nation before we can talk about politics and positions. This is what our leader could do to unite this country in the current circumstances.”

“Senator Abdulaziz Yari is my brother and friend. We became governors together from 2011-2019 on the same political platform. But the nation is superior to other personal considerations. I am quite happy with what I see here today. It is a reflection of those who crave the stability and unity of this country in a bipartisan manner.”
