Minister of Art, Culture, and the Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa, has hit back at Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed for his comments on Vice President Kashim Shettima.
Datti Baba-Ahmed, the Vice Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, in the 2023 general election when Peter Obi contested for the presidential position, had slammed Shettima, suggesting that there are many unspoken truths about the Nigerian Vice president.
Appearing on Arise News a week ago, the LP VP candidate was asked to speak on the insinuation that President Bola Tinubu has reopened the VP slot ahead of 2027.
Daily Post reported that Baba-Ahmed, in his response, said that Tinubu has demonstrated a rare patience for him to have kept Shettima for this long.
He said Tinubu should not have allowed Shettima to remain in office as Vice President for this long.
Baba-Ahmed refrained from going into specifics, but emphasised that anyone who knows what Shettima did will not even allow him to stay for long.
Responding to the claims on Arise News on Wednesday night, Hannatu Musawa lambasted the LP chieftain, describing his insinuations as dangerous.
“What was he trying to say? I didn’t understand what he was trying to say.
“He was making insinuations, very dangerous insinuations based on lies, and I think it’s a real shame. I think Datti needs to apologize to VP (Shettima),” she said.
