Nigeria’s Vice President, Kashim Shettima, has appealed to senators-elect on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and those from the opposition party to support the candidate of Godswill Akpabio (APC Akwa-Ibom) and Sen. Barau Jibrin (APC Kano) for the 10th Senate President and Vice President respectively.


According to Shettima, the most incompetent Southern Christian is better to be elected Senate President than a strict Northern Muslim to be elected for the position at the moment.

Naija News reports that Shettima stated this on Sunday while interacting with senators in Abuja.

The Vice President said he is ready to kneel down to beg the incoming senators to elect Akpabio Jibrin to lead the 10th Senate.

“I’m ready to kneel down and beg my colleagues for the sake of the nation. This is for the survival of this nation.

“Here we are with a Muslim President and a Muslim Vice President in a multi-ethnic, multi-religious polity like ours.

“Number 1, 2; all of the same faith, for God’s sake! Under the current dispensation, the worst, the most incompetent Southern Christian is better than the most puritanical Northern Muslim for the Presidency of the Senate.

“Equity, justice, and fairness demand that the number three citizen of this country should be Christian.

“What binds us together supersedes whatever divides us. But most importantly, we should make deliberate efforts to take inclusivity in governance.

“This is a young nation where every community would like to have fair representation on the dinner table of their kinsmen.

“Politics is about perception; politics is about optics. I want to appeal to you; I want to appeal to your conscience. “The stability, inclusivity and togetherness of this nation supersede the depth of our pockets, stability of our pockets.

“We are talking about the sustainability of the nation. The nation is at a crossroads,” Shettima stated.

Also speaking, Sen. Ali Ndume (APC-Borno) said the stability group has 73 persons who had signed for the Akpabio/Barau ticket. Ndume said: “We are working very hard to support you in your course for the stability of this country.

“We have committed ourselves to your administration alongside President Bola Tinubu to ensure the stability of Nigeria.

“The last time we had a meeting with the lawmakers-elect across party lines, the president shook hands with each one of us and called us by our native names.

“This is one administration that will not only be people-oriented but close to the grassroots.

“So far, the decisions that are coming out are those that will strengthen Nigeria.

“We’ll see Nigeria change before our very eyes and we’re committed to being a part of that change. We assure you not just of our loyalty but the stability of the parliament.”

Its all a game
Boko haram leader showing love to infidels.
Niger delta oil on their mind

See how this Useless APC/Tinubu govt wants to enthrone Mediocrity into the Governance of Nigeria.

A Corrupt Entity that Mismanaged Funds @NDDC as Senate President! 🤦

What are Akpabio's experience and Qualifications as a Legislator?

They want a Rubberstamp Senate, so that they can practise Dictatorship in the Nigeria.😒

Confusion will Arise soon in This All Past Criminals party and they will be scattered. 😕🙂

When a woman wants to teach you a lesson, even Satan sits down to take notes. My neighbor was a big drunk. His wife used to pick him up in bars and in trenches. Her family friends advised her to leave him but she was hopeful that she'll find a solution one day.

One Saturday, she went to pick him again, he was completely drunk. Instead of taking him home, she headed straight to the mortuary. She negotiated with the mortuary attendants to make him lie with the corpses so that when he wakes up, they can teach him a lesson or two. She then went back home.

When he woke up, he started screaming when he found himself sleeping in the middle of dead bodies. He started screaming and calling for help pleading that he's not dead. The mortuary attendants came laughing and told him that they are used to corpses being brought to the morgue and start practicing witchcraft. They told him to lie down and that he was dead and whatever he was seeing was not in real life but in the other end of living dead.

He continued screaming and the morgue attendants came with an axe and hammer and told him that stubborn corpses are beaten and hacked until they become cooperative. He was told to lie and wait for his postmortem later that day since his cause of death hadn't been established.

He stayed there frightened in the middle of corpses the whole of that day and Sunday night. On Monday morning they released him and told him to go home, say bye bye to his family and then come back to the morgue for preservation since he was now a mere spirit.

He ran home on foot, straight to the mirror to check if he was seeing himself. His wife pretended not to see him which made him even more worried. He went to the bathroom took a shower, dressed up and carried a Bible. That's when his wife told him that it was a Monday morning and not Sunday.

Several months later he's yet to reveal what happened to her; and where he was the 2 nights he wasn't at home. He stopped taking alcohol completely, not even Sodas, just Milk and Water. He goes to Church religiously now.
The person's brother is on this Nairaland but I won't reveal his name, abi make I call his name ?
Good morning and Have a blessed Monday.

You sabi Obidunze Orchins very well

Why would religion matter at the moment


Why didn't it matter when you ran a Muslim Muslim ticket, the most religiously divisive campaign ever witnessed in the history of this country

APC is an all Hausa/FULANI and SW Muslim party.

They want to change that Perspective/Outlook, Despite the Ambitions of the Northern SP candidates.

With Akpabio, They want to Buy the Love of the South-south Pple, that did NOT love for them.🤨

They will now Claim that SS voted for them, while Igbos voted Obi.😕😏

What are Yaris experience and qualifications that supercede Akpabios? The overiding national interest now is religious balance and if Akpabios can do the job why not. Do you want to compare the way Akpabios ran and developed Akwa Ibom to the way Yari ran Zamfara. The only governor's comparable to Akpabios as governor were Fashola and Wike. Akpabio did more projects in Akwa Ibom than Wike did in Rivers. Though he underperformed under Buhari but then who didn't underperform under Buhari. Even the great Fashola failed with power under Buhari. If Yari had worked under Buhari he would have failed miserably. But this is PBATs tenure. Tinubu knows how to get the best for the people. Lagos was a case study

You ran with a Muslim Muslim ticket and all of a sudden now love Christains

Senator Akpabio as Senate president is a done deal, we are only waiting for formality.

Btw, I greet you my able VP

A Christian should not only occupy the third position but also the fourth position so as to make a balance for the first and second positions occupied by a Muslim

This guy sound intelligent and has a sound reasoning, i have listen to him in several times the manchi dey try.

“Number 1, 2; all of the same faith, for God’s sake! Under the current dispensation, the worst, the most incompetent Southern Christian is better than the most puritanical Northern Muslim for the Presidency of the Senate.

“Equity, justice, and fairness demand that the number three citizen of this country should be Christian.

“What binds us together supersedes whatever divides us. But most importantly, we should make deliberate efforts to take inclusivity in governance.

“This is a young nation where every community would like to have fair representation on the dinner table of their kinsmen.

“Politics is about perception; politics is about optics. I want to appeal to you; I want to appeal to your conscience. “The stability, inclusivity and togetherness of this nation supersede the depth of our pockets, stability of our pockets.

“We are talking about the sustainability of the nation. The nation is at a crossroads,” Shettima stated.

Also speaking, Sen. Ali Ndume (APC-Borno) said the stability group has 73 persons who had signed for the Akpabio/Barau ticket. Ndume said: “We are working very hard to support you in your course for the stability of this country.

“We have committed ourselves to your administration alongside President Bola Tinubu to ensure the stability of Nigeria.

“The last time we had a meeting with the lawmakers-elect across party lines, the president shook hands with each one of us and called us by our native names.

“So far, the decisions that are coming out are those that will strengthen Nigeria.

North won't agree with the balance bruhaha. Why didn't you balance your ticket from day one since you know you must rig to win.

North need Yari to check mate Tinubu and Southern Presidency considering that the CJN is SW.

I support Yari and Abays.
Let it be parallel Muslim jo so that IT DOESN'T MATTER CHRISTIANS WILL WAKE UP

If you are a Christian and you voted this APC ticket then you are the worst kind of fool!

We don't care again. You guys should just stick to your "competence" mantra, and stop patronising us.
We want to see your best and we don't want you to have any excuse should you fail.

Return our mandate shikena

Better still, let a Christian be given the Senate president and as well the speakership positions to balance the equation.

Forth position is already a Muslim
