Shettima’s wife did not reject female police ADC – Aide
Story from Saleh INUWA, Kano
An aide has come forward to dismiss rumours of Vice President Kashim Shettima’s wife, Nana, rejecting a female police aide-de-camp (ADC).
In a statement shared on Twitter on Sunday, the aide, Ameen Amshi, clarified that Mrs. Shettima simply opted for the ADC who had previously served her during her husband’s tenure as the governor of Borno State.
The statement read, “It is important to correct the news regarding the alleged rejection of a female police ADC by HE Nana Shettima, the Vice President’s wife, during her inauguration. Although this news has been circulating on social media, it is not accurate.”
“Assigning security details or aides to VIPs follows specific procedures that vary across security agencies. This process involves selecting at least three competent personnel and scrutinizing their service records. The most suitable candidate is then presented to the VVIP/VIP for approval, and upon acceptance, the personnel is officially assigned to the individual.”
“It is worth noting that HE Nana Shettima is not new to the corridors of power and had previously worked with an ADC during her eight-year tenure as the governor’s wife in Borno. Therefore, the same ADC who had previously served her in Borno as the governor’s wife was present at her inauguration.”
“The Shettima family is known for maintaining long-term relationships with their staff and workers, including retaining the security details that served the Vice President when he was Governor. Given this track record, it is unlikely that his wife would act differently. She has always prioritized following due process in her official dealings, including the assignment of security personnel to VIPs and VVIPs.”
