Vice-President Kashim Shettima has vowed that he will retire Atiku Abubakar, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to Kombina so that he can spend his remaining days rearing goats and broilers.
Shettima made the remarks during a chat with journalists outside the court of appeal in Abuja, moments after the presidential election tribunal affirmed the victory of President Bola Tinubu.
“We have moved beyond the phase of politics. Now, we are in the phase of governance. Atiku Abubakar is an elder statesman that I hold in very high esteem,” Shettima said.
“Anybody who knows the socio-cultural interaction between the Fulanis and Kanuris in the north would know that I have the liberty to hurl all insults at him and he’d stoically bear.
“We are not going to retire Atiku to Dubai or Morocco. I’d retire him to Kombina. I’d buy him goats, broilers and layers, so that he can spend his days rearing cows and broilers.
“On a more serious note, Atiku is an elder statesman. The nation needs him.
“Experience is not something that you can buy in the market. We’d tap into his wealth of experience and exposure to catapult the nation to a higher pedestal.
“Politics is over, governance is now important.”
