How Shettima ended up promoting Atiku, Melaye reveals
Senator Melaye said Shettima, "in an attempt to desecrate the wholesomeness of Abubakar Atiku succeeded in promoting" him "as a productive, enterprising and job-creating office seeker."
He urged Nigerians to critically assess those he described as jesters in the political space whose understanding of political campaign was the acerbic deployment of an unsterilised mouth.
The former lawmaker added that, in attempting to cast aspersions on Atiku’s high profile, Shettima only succeeded in promoting him as a global citizen who was well accepted in Dubai.

Okpara Jonathan Chibuike commented on Facebook:
"This guy is among those deceiving Atiku, People without electoral value will be detecting for a Presidential candidate.
"The first thing to ask is, what's your electoral value?? Did you win your elections? PDP is not an alternative in this election."
Hassan Jibrin said:
"I stand with Atiku."
