Vice President Kashim Shettima says individuals have warned President Bola Tinubu that traditional outfits Shettima gave him could be “charmed” and harmful. According to multiple reports, Shettima links the warnings to Borno State during the 2023 election campaign, when Tinubu received traditional attire from him. Shettima alleges that some people told Tinubu not to wear the clothes, saying they had been used to “charm” him and could lead to his death. He further claims that at least one message was conveyed to Tinubu that she included the accusation that Shettima “wanted him dead.” The reports add that Tinubu rejects the allegations, including by continuing to wear the attire Shettima gave him, which the accounts describe as a response to the warnings. Across the outlets, the focus remains on Shettima’s account of the warnings and Tinubu’s dismissal of the claims through his actions regarding the outfits. The sources do not provide independent verification of the “charmed” allegations.
