Minister of Communication, Dr Abdulraheem Adebayo Shittu, is on record as the first cabinet member to openly support the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari when he took campaign materials to a Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting. But he soon closed the office of the platform he had opened for the President’s second term and abandoned the group working for Buhari’s re-election. Shittu, in this interview, explains why his actions were inevitable. He also speaks on the allegation that he dodged National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and the attitude of his principal to the stand of critics that he should step down as minister, as well as his efforts to mobilise support for the President’s second term bid.
