Shettima labels ADC an empty bone
Speaking to the enthusiastic crowd, Shettima insisted that the ADC had nothing to offer Nigerians.
“Do you know that ADC? It has nothing to offer for you, therefore you shall not go there. Do you know bone? ADC is just like an empty bone neither has bone marrow nor flesh on it,” he said.
Criticism of ADC’s capabilities
The Vice-President further criticised the ADC, stating that the party “lacks the qualities needed to deliver Nigerians,” and warned citizens against being swayed by its promises.
Shettima’s comments come amid speculation that the ADC is positioning itself as a challenger to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 elections. Analysts suggest that such statements signal the APC’s intent to consolidate its base ahead of the next general election.
As political tensions rise, Shettima’s remarks are expected to fuel debates over party loyalties and the credibility of emerging political players in Nigeria.
