‘Millions of Nigerians struggling to survive’: Lawyer criticises Shettima’s dancing on the campaign trail

Nigerian human rights lawyer Abba Hikima criticised Vice President Kashim Shettima for dancing and celebrating at All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign rallies. In a Facebook post on Sunday, he urged Shettima’s handlers to advise him to stop the displays, which he called insensitive to citizens’ hardships. Hikima cited economic distress, insecurity, kidnappings and killings affecting millions of Nigerians. He said leaders should show empathy and consider the nation’s mood and the welfare and security of its people.
