On Thursday, Vice President Kashim Shettima revealed that despite having different political inclinations, the coalition of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and African Democratic Congress (ADC) are united.
Shettima revealed this information while mentioning a prominent ADC coalition member, Nasir El-Rufai, whom he referred to as his elder brother.
The Vice President delivered a speech at the launch of the book, "OPL245: The Inside Story of the $1.3 Billion Nigerian Oil Bloc," written by Mohammed Bello Adoke, SAN, who is a former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice.
He referred to Rabiu Kwankwaso, the former presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), as a "fire-spitting" leader.
Shettima remarked that the forces uniting the political class are more powerful than those separating them.
Shettima remarked, "Is the game changer still with us? No, he has moved on. However, you can't overlook the enfant terrible of the Nigerian Governors' Forum—whether you admire or despise him. I'm talking about Nasir Ahmed El-Rufai, former Governor of Kaduna State and Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso—the bold leader of the Kwankwassiyya Movement." He added that there are numerous distinguished guests present as a testament to Mohammed Bello Adoke's diverse circle of friends from different political spectrums including those from PDP.
We have a new PDP with strong representation from the coalition led by my elder brother, Malam Nasir Ahmed El-Rufai. Additionally, we encompass parties like NNPP, APP, and APC. This truly reflects a vibrant kaleidoscope of colors.
What unites us is stronger than what separates us. Former IGP MD Abubakar leans towards the PDP, yet we remain unified. Despite our minor political differences, my relationship with him remains strong and positive.
Certainly! Here's a rewritten version: "Senator Daggash, can you clarify if you're with the ADC, APC, or PDP? It seems only God knows your affiliation."
