Nigerians aghast as VP calls Tinubu 'poor man'

Vice President, Kashim Shettima has left Nigerians in social

Media Community disgusted after claiming that he is richer than President Bola Tinubu, who was widely criticised when a bullion van was seen at his Lagos residence in January 2023.

Shettima was reportedly
to have lost his train of thought at a Book launch on Thursday in Abuja where he declared that his own private residence in Borno State is better than President Budillon’s residence in Lagos State.

He described the President as the most demonized Nigerian leader, and urged Nigerians to see Tinubu as a poor man, who usea one wrist watch for a long time

According to him, “the first time I went to his house at the Budillion, I was greatly touched to see a mansion comparable to the Buckingham Palace with gardens and swimming pools. That is nothing in that house. My house in Maiduguri is better than that house in Budillion.

Reacting to the Vice President’s unpleasant comments on ‘X’ (formerly known as Twitter) user, Isola Ogunsola said, “energetic cerebral Orator, VP Kashim Shettima thank you for sharing your honest opinion, who Mr President really is.

“We know him. That is why we worked hard to enthrone him. Majority of Nigerians will be proud of him before 2027”, Isola said.

But, Uchenna Ekechukwu on ‘X’ wrote: “He (Tinubu) has just one wristwatch and a brand new Cadillac Express, expecting a new Presidential jets and a Yatch.

“You folks should rest with those childish narratives. The Dude (Shettima) saying this lives in N21 billion mansion when over 75 per cent of Nigerians are starving owing to the wicked and irrational policies of this government.

In a similar vein, Abu Baka Kigo recalled how President Tinubu said, on the 7th of December 2022, while on May 29th 2023, Mrs Remi
the now Nigeria’s First Lady said, “my family doesn’t need Nigeria’s wealth to survive.

“15th August 2024, Tinubu is a poor man, my house is better than his Budillion house”, Shettima wrote:
