The vice presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Kashim Shettima, took a swipe on Tuesday at the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi for allegedly running their campaigns on deceit.
Shettima urged Nigerians to compare and contrast the track record, leadership skill, capacity, capability and ability of APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu with the duo and make decisions that will give the country renewed hope.
The former Borno governor stated this, at the town hall meeting and dialogue between Tinubu and the business community/organised private sector, held in Lagos on Tuesday.
According to him, the 2023 election will put an end to the career of a political tourist; referring to Atiku’s political career, said he would be retiring back to Dubai in 2023.
Shettima urged Nigerians not to trust a former Vice President (Atiku), suggesting that the PDP candidate is not qualified to manage the affairs of the country, having failed to put his political house in order.
Regarding Obi, Shettima said that governance goes beyond buying and selling of bottled water, adding that the quoting of wrong statistics and claims of having two pairs of shoes and wristwatches does not make one a good leader.
He called on the LP candidate to show his scorecard in Anambra State as a former governor of the state.
