    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.

    “In one of such conclaves, former President Goodluck Jonathan with whom we have sheathed the sword and have now recalibrated our relationship was muting the idea of removing this Borno governor.
    “Aminu Tambuwal, the then Speaker of the House of Representatives had the courage to tell the President that your Excellency, you don’t have the powers to remove an elected councillor.
    “The President was still not convinced, he muted the idea at the Federal Executive Council,” Shettima said.

    “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.

    PLATFORM TIMES  reports that the 26-chapter book on the OPL 245, also known as Malabu oil deal scandal, centres on a 2011 agreement in which Royal Dutch Shell and Italy’s Eni paid $1.3 billion to acquire Nigeria’s deep-water oil licence.
