Dr Doyin Okupe, a former presidential spokesperson, has suggested that Vice President Kashim Shettima is one of the most brilliant and articulate politicians from the North.
Okupe made the assertion in a post on his X handle on Thursday, saying he has had to take a closer look at Shettima’s personality.
“From the time of GEJ Administration, I have not been someone you can call a friend of the VP Alh Shetima.
“But since he became the VP, I have had to take a closer look at his personae. This gentleman is probably one of the most brilliant, lucid and articulate politicians from the North,” he posted on X.
Arogidigba Global Journal reports that Okupe before now was a former Director-General of the Labour Party (LP) Presidential Campaign Council.
However, in January this year, he dumped the Labour Party, citing ideological differences post-2023 election as the basis for his departure from the party.
