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.
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.
