APC Chieftains Vow To Destroy Shettima, Group Alleges

A group of seven chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Borno state has resolved to unleash what they termed “devilish campaign” against a former Borno State Governor, Senator Kashim Shettima.
It said the campaign was as a result of the chieftains’ grievance with the outcome of the 2019 governorship elections in Borno and regrouping ahead of 2023.
The President, Coalition of Civil Societies and Media Executives for Good Governance in Nigeria (COCMEGG), Comrade Omoba Aigbegbele, raised the alarm in a statement he released yesterday, in Lagos.
Aigbegbele revealed that already, the undisclosed chieftains have planted a mischievous allegation in the social media, claiming Shettima has been boasting of being worth $900 million in cash.
The group, he added, went as far as fabricating a fake wikipedia page to support the false narrative.
“As activists of public rights, we have the solemn duty to raise our voices not only against the wrongs carried out by public office holders but also those done against them by other Nigerians. We speak against everything that is either evil or wrong.
“Since December, 2019, a group of seven chieftains of the APC in Borno state, five of whom are former public office holders and two of them in public service, have been making frantic efforts against one of their own, former Governor Kashim Shettima. Their main grievance is outcome of the 2019 governorship election in Borno, and ahead of 2023.”
“My particular concern is the fact that these chieftains have been shopping for civil societies they can recruit into their evil mission. The group has recruited two experts on ICT and social media engagements and have also gone far in trying to register a pseudo civil society platform they call Northeast Vanguard Against Corruption and Bad Governance, with the singular objective of leading vicious media campaigns against the former Governor and the current administration in Borno state”.
