All Progressives Congress (APC) vice-presidential candidate for the 2023 general elections, Kashim Shettima, has posited that Nigeria needed a leader like the late military Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha.

Speaking, on Thursday, at the 96th anniversary of the Yoruba Tennis Club in Ikoyi, Lagos, Shettima said: “We need a leader with a vision and sense of responsibility and commitment, and somebody who understands the national title of the nation of an Abdulsalami Abubakar, and in our systemic circumstances, we need a leader with a dose of the hospitality of a Sani Abacha.”
He added that the country needs the competencies of a detribalised and committed Nigerian like his principal, Tinubu.

“We need a leader with the intellectual acumen, with the action to catapult this nation to a higher pedestal. We need a leader who is not bound by regional or religious sentiment.
“We need a leader that has established such records of excellence and commitment to good governance. There is no one, with all due respect, that fits this better than Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
Recall that Abacha, who headed the military junta that ruled the country from November 17, 1993 till his sudden death on June 8, 1998, was noted for his brutality and abuse of human rights as well as being the worst corrupt government ever to rule this country, as his loot is still being discovered and repatriated to Nigeria several years after he died.
