Shettima to Peter Obi: You Can Only Become President in Igboland, Nigeria Too Big

The All Progressives Congress vice-presidential candidate for the 2023 elections, Kashim Shettima, has said Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, can only become a President in Igboland, “but definitely not in Nigeria (because) Nigeria is too big for him to handle.”

Shettima, speaking on a television programme on Friday said: “The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi has no political base and structure to win the next election in 2023. As far as I am concerned, he’s politically structureless with little or no experience to lead this country.

“Nigeria requires a technocrat and a sound administrator who will continue from where President Muhammadu Buhari stopped, not someone who will come to take us back to the era of PDP. Nigerians don’t want that.

“Our candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the right person needed for this position in a time like this. He’s a unifier, an administrator, a technocrat, name it. That is why Nigerians both old and young are rallying round him to ensure that he wins the forthcoming election.

“Presidential position is not for the unprepared neither is it an all comers’ affair. Peter Obi can only become a President in Igboland but definitely not in Nigeria. Nigeria is too big for him to handle. He has no leadership ideology nor experiences like President Muhammadu and our incoming President in the person of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”

  • Kashim Shettima you are a big fool. to say that Peter Obi can only become President in Igboland. God will judge you with that word.

  • Only Mr.Peter Obi can give better support to young people and also make Nigeria proud than Atiku Abubakar and Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu.

  • He should tell us what he will do for Nigeria and not Peter Obi and Igboland. We the youths have chosen Peter Obi. Not because he is a saint, but because he is telling us what he will do differently. Olè ni gbogbo PDP àti APC. Shittima omo Boko Haram ni o.
