Atiku Abubakar Slams Shettima Over Scorecard Challenge

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar responded to Vice President Kashim Shettima's public challenge for him to name eight projects executed during his tenure. Atiku described Shettima's request as undignified and disrespectful, arguing that it affronts the cultural values of Northern Nigeria, which discourage younger individuals from publicly challenging their elders.

He stated that he would not engage with Shettima due to his seniority and extensive experience in civil service, asserting that it is inappropriate for someone younger to taunt an elder. This controversy arose during an interview on the GTA Hausa podcast, hosted by Yusuf Harand, where Atiku emphasized the importance of respecting elders and the traditions of the North, stating that such public challenges are not part of their cultural practices.
