Vice President Shettima: I’ll retire Atiku to Kombina to rear goats, broilers

Vice President Kashim Shettima has vowed to retire the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, from politics.

Shettima said he would retire Atiku to Kombina, not Dubai or Morocco, where he would rear animals.

He was addressing journalists after the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal verdict, which upheld the election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Recall that the five-man panel, in a final judgement read by Justice Haruna Simon Tsammani, struck out the three petitions filed by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Labour Party, LP, and the Allied Peoples Movement, APM.

The Tribunal resolved all the issues against the petitioners in favour of the respondents, President Tinubu, his Vice, Kashim Shettima and the All Progressives Congress, APC.

While the APM is yet to make its line of action known, both the PDP and the LP candidates, Abubakar Atiku and Peter Obi, respectively, have vowed to challenge the judgement at the Supreme Court.

They made their decisions public on Wednesday, shortly after the Tribunal dismissed their petitions.

However, Shettima said he would buy Atiku goats and broilers to rear.

According to Shettima: “We are not going to retire Atiku Abubakar to Dubai or Morocco. I will retire him to Kombina, I will buy him goats and broilers and layers so that he can spend his days rearing goats and broilers.”
