Kasshim Shettimma; The Abobakuun Who Said No
Who is an Abobakuun?
Abobaku is a chieftaincy title in Yoruba land and it literarily means one who dies with the king.
He is appointed as a chief from a particular family who has the right in the village or community The Abobaku enjoys a great deal of privileges and luxury and in fact he is always with or close to the king and even eats whatever the king eats and drinks. One thing remains in all of his luxuries and enjoyments, he dies when the king dies. He is buried with the king in the same grave. He is aware of this and so enjoys it all while it lasts. It is worthy to note that this is closely attached to the burial rites of a king and that leads us to examine what the burial rites of a king look like in Yoruba land."
Kasshim shettimma is a freethinker and has a mind of his own .. He was never known to be submissive or meek or humble.
He is always out to get at it and grab it , without seeking permission or waiting for orders ..
Simply put, he is not used to the life of a vice ...
Going into the 2023 general election , the APC presented to Nigerians a ticket ; of a vice President who from all indications is 5times stronger than his boss; both mentality , intelligence wise and has greater maneuverability and political stealth coupled with capacity to out-do and out-smart him.
This would be a first in the history of this nation .
Of no faulth of his , shettimma has found himself matched-maked to a far weaker personality in the person of jagaban ;a pure mismatch.
but with great capacity -he has managed to settle in and learn the dynamics of the mess that was thrust upon him.
Take nothing away from shettimah , he is a charming personality, a young virile stallion who remembers the road that leads home..
Atiku was stubborn, but he had stronger lion-hearted warrior in obj to contend with..
Yar'adua was weak ,but he had an even weaker Jonathan to partner with..
Buhari whose demeanour cannot be deciphered partnered with an OSIBANJO who technically knows when not to cross the redline..
Now we have a completely pale and vegetative not yet elected jagaban .. who after bagging innumerable gaffes to his name appears to be understandably sick and ill even to the young children on the street ..
But Kassim shettimma will not be his ABOBAKUUN..
KASSHIM SHETTIMMA WILL FIND A WAY TO STAY ALIVE , if (god forbids) the boats capsizes in the heart of the OCEAN..
