Igbo man is my Chief Security Officer, Shettima debunks ‘Islamisation agenda’

Vice-president-elect, Kashim Shettima on Saturday urged Nigerians to ignore the alleged plot by the incoming administration of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to Islamise Nigeria.

Shettima, who stated this while speaking at the inauguration lecture of the incoming government in Abuja, said he and his boss (Tinubu) would do everything possible to reshape Nigeria.

Tinubu’s choice of a Muslim-Muslim ticket has continued to generate mixed reactions from the public, particularly the Christian Community prior to the 2023 general elections.

He said, “I was a child of necessity, there is no Islamisation agenda. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a Muslim who is married to a Christian, not only a Christian but a pastor in the Redeemed Christian Church of God.

“Someone who has not Islamised his family, people are alluding that he has the intention to Islamise the nation.

“Politics is about perception. As we begin the formation of a new administration, I deliberately picked an Igbo man, a Catholic, to be my chief security officer.”
