Senator Kashim Shettima, a vice presidential candidate for the All Progressive Congress, APC, has stated that Peter Obi, a member of the Labour Party, is ineligible to be Nigeria’s president.
Obi can only lead Igboland and not Nigeria, according to Shettima.
On Friday, July 15, he made this claim while speaking on the Channels TV Politics Today program.
“The Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, has no political base or structure to win the next upcoming election in 2023,” the former governor of Borno state declared. I don’t think he has the political structure or expertise to be president of 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 in 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 forth coming election.
“Presidential position is not for the unprepared neither is it an all comers affairs. 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.”
