SocialMediaTrends: Shettima involved with Boko Haram? Nigerians deliberate

The Vice-Presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Senator Kashim Shettima, has been trending since his unveiling, with Nigerians digging into his possible involvement with Boko Haram terrorists.

The Bola Ahmed Tinubu running mate was unveiled on Sunday at President Muhammadu Buhari’s hometown in Daura and has since been congratulated by the senate president, Ahmed Lawan.

Social media has been buzzing as many fingers have been pointed to Shettima for allegedly habouring the mastermind of the 2011 Christmas Day bombing of St. Theresa’s Catholic Church, Kabiru Sokoto.

The bombing, according to media sources, claimed around 40 lives in Madalla.

Did you know that Kabiru Sokoto bombed St Theresa Catholic Church, Abuja, he was arrested in Kashim Shettima's lodge.

He was recently released from Kuje prison after the jailbreak, and the next day, Shettima was announced the Vice President by Tinubu!

We are finished!

Kassim Shettima was very Vocal when Ihejirika was fishing out BH and their sympathisers.

The Nigerian Army recorded a lot of Success during this period and BH changed tactics to Bombings in Abuja.

The APC is rewarding Shettima for his role in removing GEJ.

APC needs to leave.

The same Sen. Shettima who called the Vice President an ice cream/popcorn seller is now VP candidate?

Pastor Osinbajo, I hope you heard that loud and clear.

Boss Mustapha, current SGF was one of the leading contenders to be VP to Tinubu. He was not picked because he is Christian. He’s 200 times more competent than Shettima. Let’s continue to deceive each other in this country. pic.twitter.com/Yz9AURfb9G

Remember when Governor Modu Sheriff Categorically accused Gov. Shettima of Creating And Funding the dreaded sect Boko Haram. This allegations is still fresh and it’s still on record.

Nobody will say he wasn’t warned pic.twitter.com/X6O0Am0iI2

Kashim Shettima can actually become the President of Nigeria. (If Tinubu wins and something happens along the line).

After almost 8 years of hell, APC decided to present Tinubu-Shettima.

The plan is very clear. 2023 is a battle for your life and your existence.

Choose life, that you may live.

I will do my best to make sure Tinubu and Shettima never become President and Vice President of Nigeria in 2023, so help me God.
