Spokesperson of the Atiku Presidential Campaign Council, Dino Melaye has claimed that Vice Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Kashim Shettima should be in jail “to pay for the blood of innocent citizens and the deprivation that lawful Nigerians have suffered from his private army.”
Melaye, in a statement made available on Wednesday, described Shettima as a ‘Grand Commander of Bandits’, urging Nigerians to reject him and ‘his gang’ in the forthcoming general elections.

He wrote: “Overwhelmed by the conviviality of a civil atmosphere Kashim Shettima, the Grand Commander of Bandits and the running mate of the Presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), who has gathered enough funds from his field soldiers to be so intoxicated as to engage in a verbal gibberish that is only permissible in Sambisa Forest. He has been seen in footage where he was exciting a rented crowd with whimsical potshots at His Excellency Atiku Abubakar.
It was the same hallucination that made Shettima to have defined an illusory presidency where he would create an office for Boko Haram in the villa, with him in charge of the security of our precious Nigeria.
The emergence of the garrulous, intemperate and indecorous Shettima is another manifestation of the failure of APC, which after weeks of shilly-shally to fill the slot of a running mate ultimately settled for a rustic jejune whose concept of a suit is the sartorial equivalence of Babanriga.
“Nigerians are again invited to critically assess the jesters in the political space whose understanding of political campaigns is the acerbic deployment of an unsterilised mouth.”
