Phrank Shaibu, a media aide to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has reacted after Vice President Kashim Shettima accused United Kingdom (UK) opposition leader Kemi Badenoch of denigrating Nigeria.
In a post shared on his X page on Saturday, December 14, Shaibu asked those criticizing Badenoch to embark on a moment of introspection.
Speaking further, Shaibu specifically urged Shettima to find something useful to do rather than concentrating on Badenoch.
TimesNow.com.ng recalled that on Monday, December 9, Shettima launched a scathing attack on Badenoch.
Shettima said in a speech on migration that Badenoch was free to change her Nigerian first name.
Asked about Shettima’s comments, an unnamed spokesperson for Ms Badenoch said she “stands by what she says” and “is not the PR for Nigeria.”
But reacting on Saturday, Shaibu said that despite bearing the name Kemi, it does not automatically make the UK lawmaker a Nigerian.
He asked the vice president to find something useful to do with his time instead of berating Badenoch.
Atiku’s aide tweeted:
