Vice-President Kashim Shettima has revealed that former President Goodluck Jonathan once attempted to illegally remove him as Borno State governor at the height of the Boko Haram insurgency in 2013, but was stopped by legal resistance from then-Attorney General of the Federation, Mohammed Bello Adoke (SAN).
Shettima made the startling revelation on Thursday during the launch of Adoke’s memoir in Abuja.
His account wascentered on events under the Jonathan administration.
He said ““there are two gentlemen seated here. Certain decisions are taken in a very rare circle. The President, the Vice President, the Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
“He even sought a second opinion from another SAN in the cabinet, Kabiru Turaki, and he agreed with Adoke. That was how the matter was put to rest,” Shettima recounted.
