You’re not Abraham Lincoln — Shettima berates Atiku for ‘disrespecting’ Tinubu

By Adegboyega Adeleye

Vice-President Kashim Shettima has criticised former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar over what he described as disrespectful comments about President Bola Tinubu, saying anyone seeking the presidency must show discipline and respect for public institutions.
Shettima spoke on Wednesday at the inauguration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council for the 2027 election.
In his remarks, Shettima said Atiku’s repeated presidential bids and recent policy proposals did not, in his view, excuse language he considered disrespectful toward the sitting president. He also questioned how Atiku’s proposed production subsidies would be funded.
