Nigeria’s Vice President Kashim Shettima says President Bola Tinubu accepts responsibility for decisions made by his administration.
Shettima said Tinubu does not blame former governments for his government’s actions. He added that criticising former President Muhammadu Buhari was the easiest way to upset the President.
The Vice President made the comments on Wednesday in Abuja during the Agric Development and Investment Summit.

According to Shettima, President Tinubu does not believe in blaming others for government decisions.
He said Tinubu accepts that the responsibility for his administration’s actions rests with him.
“He is not someone who is fond of the blame game. For the past three years, the easiest way you can earn the wrath of President Tinubu is to criticise Muhammadu Buhari. The buck stops at his desk and he is ready to take responsibility for whatever comes out of his actions,” Shettima said.
Meanwhile, the Vice President described Tinubu as a leader willing to make major decisions to reposition Nigeria’s economy.
