But reacting on Saturday, Shaibu said that despite bearing the name Kemi, it does not automatically make the UK lawmaker a Nigerian.
He asked the vice president to find something useful to do with his time instead of berating Badenoch.
Atiku’s aide tweeted:
“Those criticizing KemiBadenoch should pause for a moment of introspection. The mere fact that her name is Kemi or that she has Yoruba roots does not automatically render her Nigerian. After all, Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus @gabrieljesus9 is not the son of God @officialSKSM should find something useful to do with his time.”
