Obi can only become president of Igboland, not Nigeria—Shettima

APC’s vice presidential candidate Kashim Shettima has dismissed LP’s presidential candidate Peter Obi as president of Igbo—if only the former Anambra can become president.

“The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi has no political base and structure to win the next coming election in 2023,” Shettima said on Channels TV on Friday.

“As far as I am concerned he’s politically structureless with little or no experience to lead this country.” Shettima said on Channels TV Politics Today programme on Friday, July 15.

According to him, Nigeria requires a technocrat and a sound administrator who will continue from where President Muhammadu Buhari stopped.

“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,” he said.

“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.”
