Vice President Kashim Shettima has revealed that some people attempted to set him against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu about three months into the current administration.
He stated this at the launch of My Life of Duty and Allegiance, autobiography of former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon on Tuesday in Abuja.
Shettima said the individuals, whom he did not name, are from his home State, Borno, adding that the people told Tinubu that he was plotting to kill him and take over power.
He said “The President had called me and said, ‘Sit down! Your people came to me and said stop wearing those Shettima’s clothes.’
“But the president said their story did not add up. He said when you gave me those clothes, I was an aspirant. I would not have been the candidate; neither were you going to be the vice presidential candidate.
“Some people told him after election that I was planning to use the clothes to kill him and take over. However, Tinubu wore the clothes after that because he is not fetish.”
Shettima urged Nigerians to be better united as their brother’s keeper, not as merchants of division.
