The incoming administration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) under the leadership of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will not trample on the rule of law, Vice President-elect Senator Kashim Shettima has said.
Shettima, who spoke, yesterday, at a book reading and signing titled; Stepping on Toes by Hajia Hadiza Bala Usman, assured that the incoming administration of Tinubu will be a gender-friendly administration.
He was speaking against the backdrop of a poser from the audience by one Muhammed Abubakar Husseini on why President Muhammadu Buhari failed to act during the face-off between Hajia Bala Usman and the former Minister, Rotimi Amaechi
Husseini was of the opinion that the rule of law was obviously trampled upon when the minister suspended Usman and yet Buhari carried on as if all was well. Shettima pointed out that Tinubu was the first person to appoint a lady as a deputy governor in Nigeria, and the first person to appoint a lady as chief judge of a state.
“In the North, I was the first person to appoint five women to the state Executive Council and then Nasir Ahmed El-rufai followed suit. He described the book, Stepping on Toes by Usman as the work of an iron lady.
The author of the book, Usman, who was the former Managing Director of Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA) said that she decided to write her Odyssey at the NPA, as a way of telling her own story of how she was wrongfully suspended over alleged N165b she was accused of not remitting to the TSA She commended the former Attorney General of the Federation, Muhammed Bello Adoke who encouraged her to write the book and kept on checking on her.
Commenting on the book, Adoke said: “When I wrote my book, ‘The Burden of service’, a lot of people thought that I was audacious, but you are more audacious. I commend you for your courage to call out names and to say things as they were without let or hindrance, which shows that you are a witness of truth. Your book will certainly fight impunity.”
