My Channels TV Interview Taken Out of Context And I Apologise — Senator Kashim Shettima

1. When I appeared on Channels TV last Thursday amidst the tension rippling through our political arena, it was to underline the promise Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s presidential bid held for those yet to establish the certainty of the hurdle ahead of the APC. I never set out to denigrate the personality of any aspirant, and definitely not that of my dear friends and allies. None of them is an opponent, so their aspiration isn’t a threat to us. They appear so in the sprint to become the party’s presidential flag-bearer in the 2023 elections, but they are our allies in the marathon.

2. My assessments of the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, and the President of the Senate, Senator Ahmad Lawan, were well-intentioned. I never set out to subject them to ridicule but, rather, to stir up interest in the contrasting virtues of the cast of aspirants putting up a fight against my preferred aspirant, one most favoured and advantaged to guarantee APC’s victory in the forthcoming presidential election.

3. The interpretations of my remarks on Professor Osinbajo and Senator Lawan are, thus, being done literally and overblown. My words weren’t woven to portray them as unworthy aspirants, but merely to qualify them as non-threatening contenders. I, however, take full responsibility for my utterances and wish to appeal to our teeming ers to neither take my words out of their metaphoric contexts nor interpret them as a measure and declaration of hostility towards my dear friends and allies.

4. I hereby tender my unreserved apologies to the Vice President and the President of the Senate for the unintended pains my jibes might have caused them and their families and ers.

5. As we approach the finishing line of this tense political race, I’m not unaware of who the actual opponents are. A divided house, even if in the assumptions and imaginations of ers with a distant grasp of our relationships with other aspirants, is the last impression we wish to create among Nigerians.

6. I want this to be taken as an appeal to our ers across all political camps to build bridges and mend fences as the actual journey is just about to begin. Victory, for the discerning, has always been the first lap of the race. Thank you for your understanding.

ChoCho54:
Academic VP

Shetima did Osinbajo dirty, no matter what we no follow drag Northern elders like Atiku in such manner

Inside the plane heading back to Abuja from Sokoto, am sure the trio of Ganduje, Shetima and Tinubu must be smiling at the gangster mode they gave Aso Rock



.

FakeUnity:


VP acada.

It's actually academic professor. I think it was some almajiris in Gandujes government that gave him the title.

Apology is useless...the V.P rediscovered his love for ice cream

Whatever

This shatima must be very stupid

IamWonderful:
But that have not reduced him to the status of your father, he is still the vice President of the federal republic of Nigeria which include Igbos and all your family till next year or even may be president till 2039, mere words and bitterness cannot bring him, he is GOD'S project, not even ezu river death or Pandora Peter OBItuary multiple by 100 can stand against him. Just like JESUS, that was ridiculed and called various names that is above all, Osinbaba is above all his detractors

Sikiru how far? I hear say una carry fake news say buhari say he want SW president.

Sukudi maybe you heard it from home, go back again

Most of these our politicians & leaders lack intelligence. Apart from when talking from written scripts, they often commit blunders in critical unrehearsed interviews.

Keep quiet, nonsense Peasant.

Just incase you are still doubting Peter Obi's competence

Why is everyone in APC denying the interviews they willingly granted?

I knew it, typical APC member, they will say one thing today and tomorrow they will come out to refute it.

He goofed

The WORSE of it all, said without remorse was to refer a whole region INCONSEQUENTIAL,

5%er

I was ashamed on behalf of that region.

To remind you, no one gave Oshinbajo the acclaimed title aside children raised with HATE..

Funny enough, They're still jostling for thesame position.

Shameless People
