The Vice-President, Kashim Shettima, may be learning on the job too fast than he envisaged as he says he has received some intelligence reports he cannot public divulge on the comment he made shortly before the election of Godswill Akpabio as the Senate President.

During a meeting with lawmakers in the buildup to the National Assembly election, Shettima had said, “Under the current dispensation, the worst incompetent Southern Christian is better than the most puritanical Northern Muslim for the Presidency of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

But in an interview with BBC Hausa, Shettima said his utterances were misunderstood, and he had no intention of defaming his religion.

“I sincerely did not have any intention to cause harm to any individual or the Islamic religion. However, being an imperfect human being, I seek forgiveness from the community and from my Lord. I pledge that I will never reiterate such words again, as I am a devout Muslim, and my family lineage has faithfully followed the path of Islam for more than 1,400 years.

“To anyone who was hurt by my statement, I apologize, as it was never my intention to disparage any religion.”
