Peter Obi can only become president in Igboland, not Nigeria – Shettima

The former governor of Borno State and the All Progressives Congress (APC), vice presidential candidate Kashim Shettima has said Peter Obi of the Labour Party, can only become president in Igboland but not in Nigeria.

Shettima said this while speaking on Channel Television on Friday, saying Obi lacked structure and no political base to win the forthcoming general election.

He stressed that Nigeria is too big for the former governor of Anambra state to handle. “As far as I am concerned, he’s politically structureless with little or no experience to lead this country.

According to him, “The presidential position is not for the unprepared neither is it an all-comers’ affair. Peter Obi can only become a President in Igboland but not in Nigeria. Nigeria is too big for him to handle. He has no leadership ideology or experiences like President Muhammadu and our incoming President in the person of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

He said, “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.”
