Information reaching Viewers Corner News team from Abuja (Nigeria) revealed that governor Kashim Shettima has distanced himself from this statement now that majority of Nigerians are praying for president Buhari to get well and return to his job, therefore appointing a successor as mentioned by the speaker of Borno state house of assembly is something that would be done carefully, certainly not now. Governor Kashim Shettima has already discarded such statement which shows that he may be a credible person not like those who are wishing president Buhari to go out of the way so that they could come in and take over power. We want to remind such group of people that president Buhari will surely be well and return to his job to continue from where he stopped. Again picking president Buhari’s successor shall come at the right time, we are advising the speaker of Borno state house of assembly to kindly be mindful of his statements at this period of time. Though your statement is regarded as an opinion which you just aired and is also allowed in a democratic system but the timing is wrong which someone like you who is in a position of authority making statement like that would attract both negative and positive reactions from the Nigerian public. However choosing president Buhari’s successor would be a collectively thing done by APC but the time for such exercise has not come, so it should be left alone for now.
