Hushpuppi: Zulum, Shettima Deny Solidarity Visit To Abba Kyari

Borno State Governor, Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum and his predecessor, Senator Kashim Shettima have denied claims that they visited the embattled DCP Abba Kyari to show solidarity with him over his recent troubles.

Zulum’s spokesman, Malam Isa Gusau in a terse statement on Wednesday evening denied the insinuations saying that the two governors do not know Abba Kyari’s residence.

The assertion was in the face of a viral video that portrayed Zulum and Shettima as visiting Kyari in his Abuja residence.

Gusau said he resorted to issuing the clarification since Abba Kyari who promised issuing the clarification himself did not do so, more than four hours after making the promise to the spokesman.

Isa Gusau, said the video in circulation was recorded by some associates of Abba Kyari at the residence of Senator Kashim Shettima in Abuja on June 30, 2021, when Abba Kyari paid an empathy visit to Shettima following mischievous circulation of rumours that the Senator had died in the UK.

Kyari himself had shared the same video on his verified facebook wall on June 30, shortly after he visited Shettima. See link to Kyari’s facebook post:

Kyari who hails from Borno State and in Shettima’s constituency visited the former Governor to wish him well like many others had visited the Senator during the time.

Gusau released a video of some sympathizers who  had also visited the Senator the same period, which showed the senator receiving them in his house, the same place being described as Abba Kyari’s house. 

Gusau also pointed observers to take note of the TV behind Zulum and Abba Kyari with a CNN breaking news on the release of American Comedian actor, Bill Cosby, which, as can be verified by anyone online, happened on June 30, 2021.

The spokesman called on Abba Kyari to issue a similar clarification as he had promised when the spokesman called his attention to the misrepresentation given the fact it was Kyari himself who took that video and released it on his Facebook page on June 30, 2021.

Pls see video of visit by other sympathizers, link to Kyari’s post on June 30, 2021, and compare with the same video in circulation, claiming Zulum and Shettima had visited Kyari:
