Nigeria’s Vice President, Kashim Shettima has said the most incompetent Southern Christian is better than the most puritanical Northern Muslim.

This was revealed during an interactive session with senators in Abuja, Shettima said he was ready to kneel to beg the incoming senators to give Godswill Akpabio and Barau Jibrin, the opportunity to lead the 10th Assembly.

“I’m ready to kneel and beg my colleagues for the sake of the nation. This is for the survival of this nation.

“Here we are with a Muslim president and a Muslim vice-president in a multi-ethnic, multi-religious polity like ours.

He said, “My ADC is a Christian from the North, who has been with me for a very long time. When I appointed him, they said he is too junior by rank to be my ADC, but I insisted and even told them to make him my acting ADC pending when he would be promoted to the rank.

I have been campaigning privately for Senators Akpabio and Barau and I will continue to do that till we deliver them on Tuesday. I will be leaving this dinner for another meeting with some senators who are yet to register their support. I am ready to beg my colleagues. I don’t want to mention their names but I am sure I will bring about five to join this group.” He added.
